Miss Phryne Fisher by Kerry Greenwood
Miss Phryne Fisher (pronounced “fry-nee”) is the main character in a series of historical mystery novels by Australian novelist Kerry Greenwood. Phryne Fisher is an aristocratic woman sleuth straight out of the roaring twenties, complete with the look of a woman of the time period. However, she is no ordinary woman; she can fly a plane and drives a Hispano-Suiza. The series is set in St. Kilda, Melbourne, Australia.

Kerry Greenwood debuted her Honourable Phryne Fisher character in 1989 with the novel Cocaine Blues (which was also published as Death by Misadventure). The series is currently ongoing, and Greenwood has said that she will continue writing Phryne Fisher mysteries as long as people want to read them.
