Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries | Coast Series 8

Glamorous lady detective, The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis: The Matrix Revolutions), sashays through the back streets of 1928 Melbourne, fighting injustice Down Under with her pearl-handled pistol and her dagger-sharp wit...

LEAVING A TRAIL OF LOVERS in her wake, this very modern heroine makes sure she's always the centre of attention — and relishes every one of life's moments. Based on the best-selling novels of Kerry Greenwood, the irresistible skulduggery of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries comes to DVD courtesy of Acorn Media following its successful broadcast on ITV's Alibi channel.

After many years abroad, Phryne returns to Melbourne, but before her Aunt Prudence (Maria Margolyes: Ladies in Lavender) can drag her off to attend her first soiree, Phryne finds herself embroiled in a murder and befriends the most unlikely of murder suspects — an innocent Catholic girl, Dot Williams.

As she delves deeper into the murky world of murder, Phryne crosses paths with the local constabulary, befriending the handsome Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page) who cannot help but be drawn to Phryne's charms.

This gorgeous DVD set, manifesting all the stylish wit and charm of the series, includes all 13 episodes from the first series and a host of seductive extras filmed on location with cast and crew.
