The second of my reads of this series of books. This one told of two feuding olive oil producing families who proabably long forgotten what their disagreement was about. Unfortunately the feud has come to a head with some catastrophic effects for both of the families and it is up to Hermes Diaktoros of Athens to get to the bottom of it. Once again the descriptions of the foods was tantalising, the twist unexpected with some politics and a nod to the plight of traditional Greek Olive growing families under threat from the rise of cheap imports thrown in for good measure. All in all a very enjoyable read.
