Perfect for you if...

  • You love historical mysteries set in 1920s Australia with a protagonist who's equal parts glamorous and clever.
  • You enjoy cosy mysteries with real stakes, romance, and the kind of atmospheric detail that makes a setting feel like a character.
  • You've watched the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries series on Netflix or Acorn TV and want more of Phryne's cases and her chemistry with Lin Chung.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need your mysteries to be puzzle-box perfect with every clue laid out for fair play by the ending.
  • You prefer faster-paced thrillers over the leisurely, character-driven plotting of cosy mysteries.
  • You're new to the series and need significant recap: this is book eight, and characters and relationships will feel richer if you've read earlier entries.

About this book

Urn Burial is the eighth historical mystery in Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series. Phryne Fisher is staying at Cave House, a Gothic mansion in Victoria's mountain country, when her peaceful holiday is disrupted by danger. Her host receives death threats, lethal traps appear without explanation, and the parlour maid is found strangled. Phryne's investigation involves mysterious funerary urns, a pair of young lovers, an eccentric swagman, an angry outcast heir, and Lin Chung. Confined to the murder mansion, her search for answers leads her into the house's dungeons and the limestone Buchan caves. The mystery combines elements of murder investigation with romance.
