Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Book 15: Death by Water

Now available on Netflix, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries stars Essie Davis as the honorable Phryne Fisher. "While memories of the Titanic linger among the ship's passengers, readers are treated to descriptions of sumptuous meals and snippets of Maori lore, along with a tantalizing mystery. Those who long to revel in a glamorous if imperfect past will be satisfied," according to Publishers Weekly.

P&O's nice men are concerned about a series of jewelry thefts from first-class passengers, which is not good for their cruise business. It's likely that one of the passengers is the thief, and Phryne Fisher is the ideal person to blend in with the upper classes and investigate the theft on board the S.S. Hinemoa during a luxury cruise to New Zealand. To lure the thief, she carries the Great Queen of Sapphires, the Maharani, as bait.

The story includes shipboard romances, champagne cocktails, erotic photographers, jealous suitors, spiked drinks, jazz musicians, blackmail, and attempted murder, all before the thieves realize, as many love-struck men have before them, that resistance against the glamorous and intelligent Phryne is futile.
