Description
The Hon. Miss Phryne Fisher embarks on a holiday by the sea with her maid and trusted companion, accompanied by her two adoptive daughters and their dog. However, upon arrival at their rented accommodation, they find an empty house, a group of teenage louts, and a fisherman in distress. As they investigate further, they uncover a mystery involving a missing butler and his wife, leading to a hunt for buried treasure. The investigation draws Phryne into the world of the Surrealists, who may hold the key to unraveling the case. With her quick wit and sharp instincts, she navigates the complex web of clues and suspects, always staying one step ahead of those seeking to mislead her. As Phryne delves deeper into the mystery, she must confront the depths to which people will sink for greed. Armed with a glass of champagne in one hand and her trusty pearl-handled Beretta in the other, she is determined to uncover the truth.
