Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries


Based on the Kerry Greenwood novels the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Series 1 episodes on DVD from Acorn Media Group stars Essie Davis as detective Miss Phryne Fisher.


Set in Melbourne during the 1920s the show is a high-fashion, high-society crime/mystery show that dares to delve into the seedy part of life.


Miss Fisher appears to be devil-may-care and carefree but beneath her happy-as-a-lark exterior beats a profound and troubled heart.

Constantly at odds with Detective Inspector Jack Robinson, Miss Fisher boldly confronts crime and murder wherever clues lead her.  From seedy nightclubs to the dark and dangerous waterfront Miss Fisher knows no fear.


A feisty female in a male-dominated world Miss Fisher continues to make a name for herself at the detriment of her male counterparts.  Exquisitely costumed, set within accurately recreated (and sometimes real) period sets and filmed and directed much like movies, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries delivers, suspense, intrigue, action, mystery and thrills with each of the 13 episodes on the DVD 4-disc set.


Extras include a featurette about the show, creator interviews, a visit to the set and cast interviews.
