Australian Television Adapting Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher Mysteries

Phryne Fisher Mysteries by Kerry Greenwood

News from Australia: ABC (not our ABC) is adapting the mysteries by Kerry Greenwood featuring her 1920s-era private detective Phryne Fisher.

The title of the series, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, will begin production in Melbourne next month with Essie Davis in the title role.

The are currently 18 mysteries in the series, which began back in 1989 with Cocaine Blues (published in the US as Death by Misadventure). The most recent, Dead Man's Chest, was published last September.

Phryne Fisher is an unforgettable character -- we've reviewed 8 of the books ourselves -- and should make for a delightful television sleuth. What with DVD and VOD, there's every chance we here in the US (and elsewhere) will be able to enjoy this adaptation sometime in the future.
