n nThe Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is up to her elegant eyebrows in mystery once again!n nAwakening unusually early one morning, Phryne Fisher finds herself with a rare stretch of free time to fill. After dropping her daughters off for their school-sponsored charity work at the Blind Institute, she visits a university professor whose acquaintance shed made--and admired--on a prior case. At lunch, the smitten professor invites Phryne to dine at his home in Williamstown later that week. n nBookending her pleasant dinner with her new friend Jeoffrey, Phryne makes two disturbing discoveries: first, a discarded opium pipe in the park, and later the body of a Chinese man on the beach--cause of death not apparent, yet ultimately ruled a homicide. Shortly thereafter, the teenaged sister-in-law of Phrynes longtime lover Lin Chung disappears from her home. But when one of Jeoffreys colleagues is murdered in front of a houseful of guests at a Chinese-themed party he is hosting, Phryne cant help but wonder--are the incidents all related somehow? And who on earth has been leaving notes in her letterbox, warning her to REPENT and that THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH--?n nIn addition to the formidable and fashionable Phryne, this clever mystery once again features Phrynes three wards with their own mysteries to solve: Ruth and Jane, tracking an embezzler at the Institute, and Tinker, whose help Phryne enlists to uncover the author of the threatening missives.n
