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

Now available on Netflix, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries stars Essie Davis as the esteemed 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.

The gentlemen at P&O are concerned. A series of jewelry thefts among the first-class passengers is hardly good publicity for their cruises, especially when it's likely that one of the passengers is the thief. Phryne Fisher, with her Lulu bob, green eyes, cupid's bow lips, and a belief that the ends justify the means, is the perfect person to seamlessly mingle with the upper classes and take on a case of theft on the high seas - specifically on the S.S. Hinemoa, a luxury cruise to New Zealand. She is carrying the Great Queen of Sapphires, the Maharani, as bait.

Onboard, there are shipboard romances, champagne cocktails, erotic photographers, jealous suitors, mickey finns, jazz musicians, blackmail, and attempted murder, all before the thieves realize - as countless love-struck men before them have - that resistance is futile when it comes to the glamorous and intelligent Phryne.
