Searching for the murderer of a famous author, sexy, sassy Phryne goes undercover-and is up to her ears in fashion gossip and office politics.... Phryne Fisher is asked to investigate the puzzling death of a famous author and illustrator of fairy stories. To do so, she takes a job within the women's magazine that employed the victim and finds herself enmeshed in her colleagues' deceptions.
But while Phryne is learning the ins and outs of magazine publishing first hand, her personal life is thrown into chaos. Impatient for her lover Lin Chung's imminent return from a silk-buying expedition to China, she instead receives an unusual summons from Lin Chung's family followed by a series of mysterious assaults and warnings.
Phryne infiltrates the staff of Women's Choice with all the aplomb of Lord Peter Wimsey taking on the advertising game, casually dispensing balm to fragile egos and down-to-earth fashion advice while she penetrates the secrets of the magazine's agony page and follows a tortuous trail of clues to a suitably unexpected conclusion.

Away with the Fairies (Phryne Fisher Series #11)
Kerry Greenwood writes light, witty, entertaining short novels. They are the equivalent of sitcoms on television and are more enchanting to me. What is particularly charming about this kind of read is the mental relief from the heavier drama of most fiction and much nonfiction these days.
One is free to imagine the setting, people it with the cast of characters, and color in the scenery within the author's guidelines. Ms Greenwood is a past master at plot, characterization, grammar and even researches her timelines thoroughly. Her books mostly take place in Australia, and they draw in the reader to her wonderful world of Auz. Now I really want to go to Melbourne!
Note on July 22, 2014: Now that I've seen most of the Phrynne Fisher series on PBS, I can honestly say it's well done, but not a patch on the entertainment value of the books themselves. While the author had plenty of input on the series, much had to be left out due to time and appropriateness for a visual medium. Nuance is simply not available and irony is often a casualty, so read the book for real value!
