Death by Water

Now available for streaming on Netflix is Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, featuring Essie Davis in the role of 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," as stated by Publishers Weekly.

Concerns are rising among the gentlemen at P&O due to a series of jewelry thefts targeting first-class passengers, which is not exactly ideal for promoting their cruises. It is suspected that one of the passengers may be the thief. Phryne Fisher, with her signature Lulu bob, captivating green eyes, cupid's bow lips, and belief in the ends justifying the means, is the perfect candidate to effortlessly blend in with the upper class and take on the case of theft aboard the S.S. Hinemoa during a lavish cruise to New Zealand. She strategically uses the Great Queen of Sapphires, the Maharani, as bait.

During the voyage, there are shipboard romances, champagne cocktails, scandalous photographers, jealous suitors, spiked drinks, talented jazz musicians, blackmail schemes, and even an attempted murder—all before the thieves realize, much like many smitten men before them, that resisting the allure of the glamorous and intelligent Phryne is futile.
