With her first appearance in the novel Cocaine Blues, Phryne Fisher has a fascinating background. She was born into a poor family often eating rabbit and cabbage because no other food was available. She’s not ashamed of the luxuries her current position and wealth now afford her. With great courage and fearlessness, Miss Fisher often dresses in high fashion, typical of the flappers in the 1920’s. Her black hair is cropped short which can be achieved with a wig. Her clothing is typically an ornate flapper dress accented with black pumps and Gatsby-esque jewelry. You’ll also want to have a revolver in tow as well, just in case.

About Phryne Fisher
Phryne Fisher or “Miss Fisher” is the main character first appearing in Cocaine Blues, the first detective novel by Australian writer Kerry Greenwood. The storyline describes Phryne as a wealthy aristocrat coming from a background of poverty. She becomes a private detective being “quintessentially Australian.” After completing school, Phryne left home for France without her parents’ blessings and joined an ambulance unit during WWI. Following the war, she even modeled for an artist in Montparnasse. This perky lady had certainly been through a roller coaster lifestyle in her extensive travels as a private detective.
Following the end of the 2012 television drama, many have speculated that the popular Australian series would be made into a feature film starring the actress Essie Davis who would star as Phryne Fisher. Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears is the first film to be made in the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries series.
