*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

JUST MURDERED, a novelization of the first episode of Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries, introduces Peregrine Fisher-- the vivacious, plucky neice to the beloved Phryne Fisher. Never quite fitting in after a nomad life, Peregrine suddenly recieves word that her unknown-to-her aunt has disappeared and she's become the lucky inheritor of her estate. However, not to be placated with just material belongings (though, admittable, her aunt's taste in fashion and decor are admirable) Peregine jumps at the chance to solve a murder to help her aunt's Adventuresses' Club of the Antipodes,.

I am a huge fan of the original Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries tv-show, and genuinely had no idea there was a second series in production! The premise is so much fun, and it's easy to tell a lot of the heart from the originial show has been passed on to the new.

The book itself does a great job at world building-- it's so easy to picture exactly where and what is happening. The falling point for me is the dialogue (but honestly, to be expected when translating from script to novel), certain parts felt stilted or awkward to read and the first part of the book was on the slower side.

Overall, I highly recommend this book for any fans of Phryne Fisher, 1960s-era fiction, and murder mysteries!
