8:30pm – Friday, March 2 on ABC1
The glamorous Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis), accompanied by her maid Dot (Ashleigh Cummings), decides to travel to the country by train to collect her new Hispano-Suiza motor car.
The charm of rail travel soon evaporates though, when Phryne unexpectedly has to use her trusty pearl-handled pistol to save a young woman’s life and solve the disappearance of her fellow passenger’s mother.
When her train trip is derailed by a gruesome murder, Phryne speeds home in her Hispano-Suiza to her new abode in St Kilda where she works through the clues until she discovers her unassuming murderer.
