Product keyword: Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Refined title: Death by Water

Streaming now on Netflix, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries stars Essie Davis as 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," according to Publishers Weekly.

The nice men at P&O are concerned about a series of jewelry thefts from first-class passengers, as it is not good advertising for their cruises. It is likely that a passenger is the thief. Phryne Fisher, with her Lulu bob, green eyes, cupid's bow lips, and sense of the ends justifying the means, is the perfect person to seamlessly mingle with the upper classes and take on a case of theft on the high seas — or at least on the S.S. Hinemoa during a luxury cruise to New Zealand. She is carrying the Great Queen of Sapphires, the Maharani, as bait.

There are shipboard romances, champagne cocktails, erotic photographers, jealous swains, mickey finns, jazz musicians, blackmail, and attempted murder, all before the thieves find out — as have countless love-smitten men before them — that resistance is futile when it comes to the glamorous and intelligent Phryne.
