A while back, I had a review copy of The Lady with the Gun Asks the Questions, which is a collection of Phryne Fisher short stories by Kerry Greenwood. And, although I'm usually not a huge fan of mystery short stories, since I often feel that there just isn’t time to develop much of an investigation, I really enjoyed these. Phryne and Melbourne are as much the stars as the stories themselves, even in the shorter ones, and a couple of the longer ones are really treats. Kerry Greenwood’s note at the beginning of this collection of short stories, letting readers in on how she “discovered” The Honourable Phryne Fisher was an unexpectedly fun bonus. And finally, FWIW, the title has also gone on my list of favorite mystery titles - favorites just for the titles, irrespective of how good/bad the books are.

And, The Lady with the Gun is now on sale in the US...

Kindle US, $2.51: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CLNG4W5
Kobo US ($2.99, discountable): https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...he-questions-1

In The Lady with Gun Asks the Questions, Kerry Greenwood distills the Phryne of her books and imagination. For those fans looking for greater character depth, a richer historical context of the twenties, and Phryne as her truest, freest self, Greenwood has curated just the right stories from her 21 novels and added four brand-new ones so we may meet the real fabulous Miss Fisher.

This Ultimate Miss Fisher Story Collection features four previously unpublished stories:

The Boxer
A Matter of Style
The Chocolate Factory
The Bells of St. Paul's
