One of our current favorites is "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries." Taken from the book series by Kerry Greenwood, this series of mysteries features the very beautiful Phryne Fisher as our intrepid crime stopper.
The independently wealthy Miss Fisher lives in a downtown mansion in Melbourne, Australia in the 1920s. She calls her butler, Mr. Butler.
But there's nothing old fashioned about Miss Fisher. She's a witty, James Bond type action hero - only smarter, richer and better dressed.
Like James Bond, she has lovers from time to time. Unlike James Bond, she doesn't kill hers when she's finished with them. They remain friends.
Miss Fisher is a feminist. Despite the lovers, she has an excellent moral compass and knows right from wrong. However, she does have a "take no prisoners" attitude in her crime stopping.
If you have Netflix, check out Miss Fisher. You'll like her.
