Die Polizei sieht sich einer gut organisierten Bande von Kriminellen gegenüber, die auch vor dem Einsatz brutaler Gewalt nicht zurückschreckt. Doch Gewalt gibt es auch anderswo. Das junge Nachkriegsdeutschland steckt in einer schweren Wirtschaftskrise. Kapp-Putsch, Hungerunruhen, Ausnahmezustand in Hamburg. Und die Polizei hat ihre eigenen Probleme. Bei einer Inflationsrate von mehr als 100 Prozent reichen die Gehälter der Beamten kaum aus, um ihre Familien zu ernähren.

Frankreich um 1951 - Departement Vaucluse. In dem kleinen und beschaulichen Städtchen Roussillon ereignen sich unheimliche und merkwürdige Mordfälle. Die Polizei hat Mühe sie zu klären. In einem alten, liebevoll renovierten Landhaus lebt die pensionierte Geschichtsprofessorin Juliette Lafayette, die sich als scharfsinnige Amateurdetektivin ebenfalls an der Lösung der sonderbaren Fälle beteiligt. Unterstützt wird sie von ihrer pfiffigen Nichte Madeleine, die ab und zu bei ihr wohnt. Sehr zum Verdruss von Kommissar Alois Becuse.

Die wohlhabende englische Aristokratin lässt sich in den wilden 1920er Jahren in Melbourne nieder und lebt mit ihren beiden Adoptivtöchtern in St. Kilda, wo sie ihr Single-Dasein in vollen Zügen genießt - und nebenbei einen Mordfall nach dem anderen löst.

Story
Wieder einmal ist Miss Fishers Spürsinn gefragt. Ein Orchesterdirigent, von niemandem besonders gemocht, wird tot aufgefunden: ermordet auf höchst extravagante Weise, in der Mendelssohn Bartholdys Oratorium Elias eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Während die clevere Detektivin entschlossen ist, das Rätsel um die 'Partitur des Todes' zu lösen, versucht sie zeitgleich, auf ihre einzigartige Weise, einem alten Freund zu helfen, der unglücklich in den genialen wie unsympathischen Mathematiker und Codeknacker Rubert Sheffield verliebt ist.
