"It's the 1960s, and Peregrine Fisher has just been fired. Soon after, she receives a letter from The Adventuresses' Club of the Antipodes: "Please attend urgent meeting regarding inheritance." Peregrine, it turns out, is Phryne Fisher's long-lost niece. Aunt Phryne went missing, but her will stipulated that Peregrine should inherit not just Phryne's fortunes, but also her seat in the Adventuresses' Club. After a lousy first impression in Melbourne, Peregrine must prove herself worthy of a seat at the table-so when a fellow member is accused of murder, she jumps at the chance to help, quickly proving that a headstrong character and a flair for investigation run in the family.
