Description

"A sprightly pace, amusing characters, and vividly rendered Melbourne...Fans of Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher will want to check out this one." --Publishers Weekly

It's 1960 and Peregrine Fisher, Phyrne's long-lost niece, is about to get the news of her life.

Phryne's gone missing in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Only her pearl handled gun and a note arrive back home. She's left instruction that say, that should not turn up in six months' time, a letter must be sent to next of kin.

Peregrine, summons in hand, arrives in Melbourne to Greenwood mansion where she will inherit her aunt's wealth. Phryne's seat in the Adventuresses' Club, on the other hand, must be earned. When two dead bodies turn up at the Astor bridal show, Peregrine gets her chance.

In pure Fisher fashion, she'll defy social expectation with outlandish style, discover a penchant for investigating, all while running circles around the police.

About the Author

Katherine Kovacic was a veterinarian but preferred training and having fun with dogs to taking their temperatures. She returned to study and earned an MA, followed by a PhD in Art History. Katherine spends her spare time writing, dancing and teaching other people's dogs to ride skateboards.

Her first book, The Portrait of Molly Dean, was shortlisted for a Ned Kelly Award for best first fiction. In addition to Molly Dean, Katherine is also the author of Painting in the Shadows, The Shifting Landscape and, most recently, The Schoolgirl Strangler (Bonnier Australia and UK). Seven Sisters is her fourth work of fiction.

Reviews

"A fun, fast-paced read, Just Murdered also has a great heroine. Peregrine is intelligent and independent, and her jack-of-all-trades background allows her to cleverly unspool the threads of the mystery." -- BookPage
"A sprightly pace, amusing characters, and a vividly rendered Melbourne bode well for the sequel. Fans of Kerry Greenwood's Phyrne Fisher series will want to check out this one." -- Publishers Weekly
