'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' Season 2, Episode 5 Recap: "Murder à la Mode"

This week's Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries cold open is a reminder that if you talk to a murderer like you're in a cheap dime-store novel while wearing pearls in the bathroom, someone is going to dime-store novel murder you until said pearl necklace breaks. Let it never be said this show is not educational.

Now, let us follow Miss Fisher and Dot to the House of Fleuri, run by Madame Simone Fleuri (Heather Mitchell), where both are trying on new bespoke outfits. Fisher is the height of fashion, natch, though the seamstress, Violet (Tessa Lind), suggests perhaps the neckline could be lowered. Dot is trying on a sensible suit.

Dot: Miss Fisher's right about one thing. Dressing to please a man is definitely beside the point.
