  2. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

    Mr. Butler approved of gluttony. It was, he thought, a nice, comfortable vice. Never caused any noise or trouble and the sufferer just expired of an apoplexy, regretted by all those who had attended his excellent dinner parties.

  7. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

       “The best advice I would give you is, ‘If under attack, cause a diversion.'”
       “A diversion?”

  14. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

    The solemn ritual continued. The pastor gave his final blessing. The coffin was lowered into the grave and earth cast on it; the most final sound in the world, Phryne thought, clods thudding hollowly on the lid.

    Neither struck her as particularly experienced. The night would degenerate into the usual problems with an orgy: where to put what and where and when, and how to find room for one’s elbows.

  21. Vale Kerry Greenwood.

    Kerry Greenwood had two burning ambitions in life. She achieved them both.

    Many years ago, Kerry Greenwood's partner, David Greagg, introduced me to her at an event and I was struck by her sense of generosity. My love and condolences to David Greagg, and to Kerry Greenwood's friends and fans alike. She was a prolific author, and gave us gems like the "Phryne Fisher" books and TV series.

  22. So sorry to see that Kerry Greenwood, author of the wonderful Phryne Fisher mysteries, has died. I've been re-reading them recently.
