Then I found a DVD (NetFlix) of an Australian TV series based on these books. So instead of reading the first book I got the first DVD of the TV series. It was quite enjoyable and now I'm going to start the series and try the first one.
It was the TV series (shown here in Canada on BC's Knowledge Network) that got me interested in Phryne Fisher. The series is excellent, and complements the books which stand alone even if you've watched the TV series.

Rumour has it that the TV Series will continue for at least one more season. I hope so, but only if the underlying stories continue to be written by Kerry Greenwood.
