In the suspenseful Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears, Phryne Fisher (Davis) 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 young 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.
The eagerly-anticipated film features series regular Page as close associate and her longtime romantic admirer Detective Inspector Jack Robinson and Margolyes as Aunt Prudence, as well as new cast additions Daniel Lapaine (Catastrophe), Rupert Penry Jones (Spooks), andJacqueline McKenzie (Deep Blue Sea).
