In Acorn TV’s first feature film, the Honourable Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, The Babadook) embarks on an exhilarating new journey of mystery and mayhem through exotic 1920s British Palestine and the opulence of grand London manors. Fisher frees a Bedouin girl, Shirin Abbas (Izabella Yena, High School Lover) from unjust imprisonment in late 1920s Jerusalem, and unravels a wartime mystery concerning priceless emeralds, ancient curses, and the truth behind the suspicious disappearance of Shirin’s forgotten tribe. Partially crowd-funded by the series’ die-hard fans, Miss Fisher & the Crypt of Tears continues the story of the global sensation, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and is the series’ first new installment since 2015. Premiered in select theatres and Acorn TV (DVD/Blu-ray 1-Disc, 1 feature-length film, $24.99). (Limited DVDs/Blu-rays, Online Screeners Available).
My Thoughts
Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is one of my favorite series from Acorn to date. I love a good historical mystery and the roaring twenties in one of my favorite time periods. The costumes are stunning and each episode has a surprising ending.
This set includes a DVD/Blu-ray combo on one of Miss Fisher's Full length episodes. In Crypt of Tears, Fisher helps to rescue a young Bedouin girl who was sent to prison. Fisher fights to prove her innocence, she learns there is a much bigger conspiracy. There are stolen gems and curses to overcome, and the disappearance of an entire tribe.
What I love most about this series is Miss Fisher herself. She holds a place of respect in a male-dominated world and it is a spot that is well-earned. Yet, she loses none of her femininity. Her style is flawless, her personality spunky, and her wits incredibly sharp. Follow Miss Fischer as she investigates clubs during prohibition and slinks fearlessly through dark alleyways. Not only does she come across as an amazing sleuth, she does it a carefree way that will leave you smiling once the danger has passed. If you enjoy shows with strong women, this is one you simply can't miss.
You can order Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears on DVD/Bluray at Acorn Media or Amazon.
