Williamstown Murder (Phryne Fisher Mysteries)

Phryne Fisher, The Honourable Miss, once again finds herself immersed in mystery up to her elegant eyebrows! One morning, she wakes unusually early and has some rare free time on her hands. After dropping her daughters off for charity work at the Blind Institute, she visits a university professor she had met and admired during a previous case. The professor invites her to dine at his home in Williamstown later that week. During her dinner with her new friend Jeoffrey, Phryne makes two shocking discoveries: an abandoned opium pipe in the park and the body of a Chinese man on the beach, determined to be a homicide. Soon after, Lin Chung's teenage sister-in-law disappears. And when one of Jeoffrey's colleagues is murdered at a Chinese-themed party, Phryne wonders if the incidents are related. Meanwhile, mysterious notes in her letterbox warn her to "REPENT" and that "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH." As Phryne investigates, she enlists the help of her three wards, Ruth and Jane, who are tracking an embezzler at the Institute, and Tinker, who assists in uncovering the author of the threatening messages. This clever mystery features Phryne Fisher and her wards solving their own mysteries.
