About the Author
Kerry Greenwood was born in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray and after wandering far and wide, she returned to live there. She has degrees in English and Law from Melbourne University and was admitted to the legal profession on the 1st April 1982, a day which she finds both soothing and significant. Kerry has written twenty novels, a number of plays, including The Troubadours with Stephen D'Arcy, is an award-winning children's writer and has edited and contributed to several anthologies. The Phryne Fisher series (pronounced Fry-knee, to rhyme with briny) began in 1989 with Cocaine Blues which was a great success. Kerry has written sixteen books in this series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. Kerry says that as long as people want to read them, she can keep writing them.

From AudioFile
A QUESTION OF DEATH is an exquisite treasure for fans of Kerry Greenwood's mystery series, set in the 1920s and featuring detective Phryne Fisher. The deeply satisfying book is filled with such delectable details as an interview with Phryne, the author's description of Phryne's development into an intrepid Aussie sleuth, and short stories that fill in her early investigative experiences. However, dedicated Greenwood readers may prefer the print version, which features such visual delights by Beth Norling as "What's in Phryne's Bag?," "Phryne's Favorite Headpieces," fashions, favorite cocktail recipes, and an essential glossary. Stephanie Daniel perfectly captures Phryne's upper-crust, refined British articulation, as well as the accents of characters from distant lands. Daniel bravely tackles the diversity of the volume's many gems. A.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
