Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Series 3

The third series of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries continues the unconventional antics of stylish lady detective, the Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, as she solves crimes with the help of her ensemble of household cohorts and continues her playful partnership with the suave and dedicated Detective Jack Robinson.

Phryne's estranged father, Baron Henry George Fisher, arrives unannounced in Australia after selling up the family estate in England and does his best to ingratiate himself with Dot, Bert, Cec and Mr Butler, though his roguish charm is lost on his own daughter.

In episode one -Death Defying Feats', Magic, illusion and burlesque transport the masses.  When the unfortunate assistant in Mighty Mackenzie's Magic Show is beheaded onstage, Jack and Phryne's investigation unravels a secret murder in the past and an illusion that has fooled even the Mighty Mackenzie.

With a dubious business interest in the show, Phryne's estranged father makes his own surprise appearance from England.  Hoping to charm his way back into his daughter's affections, Baron Henry George Fisher causes trouble on all fronts and sabotages Jack and Phryne's every romantic opportunity.

When the murderer proves elusive, Phryne gets in on the act, performing the highly dangerous -Miraculous Mermaid' escape act in an attempt to flush out the killer, save her father's reputation and restore Mackenzie's Magic Show to its former glory.
