Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Season 3
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
The delectable – and somewhat dangerous – Phryne Fisher is back for another series of adventures in the Roaring Twenties and it’s a season of surprises that should delight viewers of this most original detective program from Down Under.
Miss Fisher and her companion Dot, in addition to solving crimes on a Royal Australian Air Force base and other unusual locales, spend much of this season dealing with some highly personal issues as well. Phryne and her police counterpart, Inspector Jack Robinson, are growing closer and closer on a personal level while Dot’s engagement to Constable Hugh Collins seems less likely to result in marriage for reasons that have little to do with love. These personal issues add a bit of tension to the season’s story lines that hasn’t been as evident in the previous two. Some people will not like that, however, I must say that I did because it makes both characters more “human” and, therefore, more accessible.
The mysteries themselves are as intriguing as ever ranging from the murder of an RAAF pilot to the killing of three young street kids.
The verdict: Series star Essie Davis and her companions once again deliver the goods in an excellent season of great storytelling.

Essie Davis sparkles like diamonds in the Miss Fisher Mystery series! The first two seasonss are whimsical, fun, and upbeat. In this third season, Miss Fisher begins to mellow into a full on cozy detective and the tone is a little more serious and the plots a little more complex. The core cast is just fantastic and I certainly hope this series will take flight and a place alongside Poirot and Miss Marple in the classics of cozy mystery. Nathan Page plays detective Jack Robinson who, on his own, is the chief police detective for the district. However, his most endearing quality is how he entertains Miss Fisher’s efforts and together they solve the mysteries. This series is funny (Jack and Hugh Collins in the police car late at night watching the legs of Miss Fisher disappear through an upstairs window,) and engrossing. The stories are well written and superbly acted. We love this series and hope to collect many more DVD’s!

This is a wonderful disc, with wonderful actors, beautiful sets, clothes, scenery and wonderful actors to bring the viewer into the life of private detective Miss Phryne Fisher, Inspector Jack Robinson and all the other actors in this great series. Start out with the complete set from Series 1 through Series 3. It will blend into the next chapter of a wonderful character with her assistant Dot and her life with this wonderful woman. Some of the episodes are so feel good, you feel like it’s Christmas. Phyrne shows what a wonderful person can do to bring happiness to so many people even the father she argues with, with love and understanding, it does the heart good. All her actions shows what a better person we could be in difficult situations which correspond with her solving mysteries with Inspector Jack Robinson, played by Nathan Page. Their constant bantering back and forth is a joy to behold. Essie Davis, as Phryne is wonderful and wears the roaring twenties clothes to perfection. Aunt Prudence, another wonderful character is a joy to watch, Ashleigh Cummings is lovely as Dot and her romance with the good Constable is a pleasure also. Her suitor is played by Hugo Johnstone-Burt. Phyrne’s butler is such a gentleman butler, we all wish we had one in our family. All in all, this set is wonderful and you will love having Miss Fisher in your collection of DVD’s. I only wish they would make more episodes as I was sad when the series ended with Series 3. Good job done by everyone and I thank you all for many hours of great viewing this wonderful series. So nice to have met Phryne and all the wonderful people around her.
