Phryne Foster, the 1920s most talented and glamorous detective, handles a murder, a kidnapping, and the usual array of beautiful young men with style and consummate ease—and all before its time to adjourn to the Queenscliff Hotel for breakfast.
In Kerry Greenwood's Flying Too High: A Phryne Fisher Mystery, the plucky Australian flapper sleuth faces two challenges: tracking down the kidnappers of a young girl and identifying the murderer of a bully whose son has been charged with the offense. Fisher again displays an impressive set of skills, from air-walking and daredevil plane flying to blood-splatter analysis, and Greenwood leavens her plot with Wodehousian characters and wit.

Flying Too High (Phryne Fisher Series #2)
The book "Flying Too High" is the second in the "Fisher" series, and I went ahead and purchased the first three books in the series of twenty. I enjoy the T.V. show (24 February 2012 to an ongoing active 3 seasons as of now) quite a bit due to is subtle humor and subversive sexiness. I guess now I will find out if it's the show's star Essie Davis who portrays Phryne Fisher, as a kind of roaring twenties Emma Peel, and or Kerry Greenwood's writing, In 2016 Essie Davis was interviewed and stated she would be open to continuing the series on film.
You may be asking why am I spending so much time on the T.V. show, when this is supposed to be a book review. And the short answer is, I guess I like the T.V. show a bit more than this the first book that I have read in this series.
A similar case could be made of the James Bond books, the originals written by Ian Fleming, which were better ? The books or the movies ?
Often the books win.
Nuff said.
