Publisher's Summary

An orchestral conductor has been found dead and Detective Inspector Jack Robinson needs the delightfully incisive and sophisticated Miss Fisher's assistance. Hugh Tregennis has been murdered in a most flamboyant mode by a killer with a point to prove. But how many killers is Phryne really stalking?

At the same time, the dark curls and disdainful air of mathematician and code-breaker Rupert Sheffield are taking Melbourne by storm. They've certainly taken the heart of Phryne's old friend from the trenches of WWI, John Wilson. Phryne recognises Sheffield as a man who attracts danger and is determined to protect John from harm. While Mendelssohn's 'Elijah,' memories of the Great War, and the science of deduction ring in her head, Phryne's past must also play its part as MI6 become involved in the tangled web of murders.

What the critics say

"Greenwood's strength lies in her ability to create characters that are wholly satisfying: the bad guys are bad, and the good guys are great." ( Vogue)

Awesome!!

I came to the books via the ABC series that now streams on Netflix. I love the world and the Character of Miss Phryne Fisher, so I thought I'd like to take a dive into the books to see how they compared. WOW! I absolutely love the writing style, there are more characters, it's all more fleshed out but just as rich and intriguing as the television series. Not only that but the performance of Stephanie Daniel is stellar. It's engaging and charming- just as I'd hoped. I picked Murder and Mendelssohn because Im a musician and this is a book that wasn't adapted for television (I wanted a mystery after all!) and it's just stellar. Stephanie Daniel even sings some of the lines! Honestly this is just a lovely presentation and I can't recommend it enough.
