In this spin-off to the wildly popular Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries, Katherine Kovacic picks up Kerry Greenwood's 1920's glam and carries is forward into a tumultuous 1960's with Just Murdered—a novelization of the first episode in the Ms. Fisher's Modern Mysteries.

In pure Fisher fashion, Peregrine defies social expectation with outlandish style, discovers her penchant for investigating, all while running circles around the police.

Phryne's gone missing in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Only her pearl handled gun and a note arrive back home. That means her long-lost niece, Peregrine must be called to Greenwood mansion where she will inherit her aunt's wealth. Phryne's seat in the Adventuresses' Club, on the other hand, must be earned. When two dead bodies turn up at the Astor bridal show, Peregrine gets her chance.
