What this book is about

The eleventh Phryne Fisher mystery finds the detective investigating the death of a fashion magazine editor and illustrator whose body is discovered surrounded by fairy illustrations in 1928 Melbourne. The victim was working on a lavish fairy-themed art project, and Phryne must navigate the competitive and passionate world of artists, writers, and magazine publishers to find the killer. With Greenwood's characteristic period atmosphere and Phryne's irreverent charm, this entry blends art history with classic whodunit plotting in an entirely satisfying package.
