The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is up to her elegant eyebrows in mystery once again! Awakening unusually early one morning, Phryne Fisher finds herself with a rare stretch of free time to fill.
But when one of Jeoffrey\'s colleagues is murdered in front of a houseful of guests at a Chinese-themed party he is hosting, Phryne can\'t help but wonder--are the incidents all related somehow? And who on earth has been leaving notes in her letterbox, warning her to REPENT and that THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH--? In addition to the formidable and fashionable Phryne, this clever mystery once again features Phryne\'s three wards with their own mysteries to solve: Ruth and Jane, tracking an embezzler at the Institute, and Tinker, whose help Phryne enlists to uncover the author of the threatening missives..
Shortly thereafter, the teenaged sister-in-law of Phryne\'s longtime lover Lin Chung disappears from her home.
Bookending her pleasant dinner with her new friend Jeoffrey, Phryne makes two disturbing discoveries: first, a discarded opium pipe in the park, and later the body of a Chinese man on the beach--cause of death not apparent, yet ultimately ruled a homicide.
At lunch, the smitten professor invites Phryne to dine at his home in Williamstown later that week.
After dropping her daughters off for their school-sponsored charity work at the Blind Institute, she visits a university professor whose acquaintance she\'d made--and admired--on a prior case.
