Praise for Ruddy Gore... "St. Kilda, Australia, in the 1920s is a fascinating place, and none of its citizens better embody its freewheeling spirit than the debonair and delightful Phryne Fisher." -Booklist "With Phryne Fisher the indefatigable Greenwood has invented the character-you-fall-in-love-with genre." -Graeme Blundell, The Australian Running late to the Hinkler gala performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore, Phryne Fisher meets some thugs in a dark alley and handles them convincingly before they can ruin her silver dress. Phryne then finds that she has rescued a gorgeous Chinese, Lin Chung, and his grandmother, and is briefly mistaken for a deity. Denying divinity but accepting cognac, she later continues safely to the theatre. But the unexpected continues as the performance is interrupted by a most bizarre death onstage. Kerry Greenwood has written more than twenty novels, a number of plays, and is the creator of the Phryne Fisher series. In 2003 she won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Crime Writers' Association of Australia. www.phrynefisher.com

Review:
"Scented, dangerous and highly enjoyable." (The Weekend Australian)
"If Jazz Age sleuth Phryne (rhymes with shiny) Fisher is new to you, prepare to be delighted. Here she gets involved with a Melbourne Gilbert and Sullivan company whose leading men keep dropping from poison in the middle of performing Ruddigore. Phryne is ably assisted by the beautiful, young Chinese man she rescued from thugs on her way to the theater. Stephanie Daniel is a riot performing the scenery-chewing members of the company, endlessly self-dramatizing even in genuinely dramatic situations, such as orphaned babies with birthmarks, hauntings by the malevolent ghost of a long-dead actress, and a trap meant to kill Phryne that squashes the stage prompter instead. Daniels is light, deft, and perfect in this champagne froth of a mystery." (AudioFile Magazine)
