RM | 768 comments The Goodreads entry suggests that Tamam Shud is part of the Phryne Fisher series: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Mostly, it is not: Tamam Shud: The Somerton Man Mystery is a standalone work of history (not fiction) by lawyer and author Kerry Greenwood. However, at the end of the book is a short Phryne Fisher story (titled Tamam Shud: A Phryne Fisher Mystery). This short story was also separately released as an audiobook, which has its own Goodreads entry: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

In my view, these entries can be cleaned up as follows:

1. The Phryne Fisher audiobook edition should be separated from the other editions, all of which pertain to the main work of historical true crime.

2. The Phryne Fisher audiobook edition can be included in the Phryne Fisher series.

3. The main work of historical true crime (which has multiple editions) should be removed from the Phryne Fisher series.
