Anyone seen this? Modern woman private detective of the 1920's in Australia. The main character and her helpers ae like a Pulp Alley gang.

I binged on this series a few months ago when I found it on Netflix.  I really liked the different characters. Definitely a great idea for a Pulp Alley style league.  ;)

Kerry Greenwood has written about thirty Phryne Fisher Mysteries.

They are all easily available and are much better at providing detail on Melbourne in the period.

Very simple to read "bus-books".
