Raisins and Almonds by Kerry Greenwood

3.0

A nice new and interesting adventure for The Hon. Phryne Fisher and her trusted friends. I was a bit disappointed in ✨Jack✨for jumping to early conclusions, but in the end he made it right and all is forgiven. Because of the current world events this book gets an even deeper significance (even more so knowing what happened in say ten years after this book - it felt eerie thinking about it), and I wanted to take my time reading it.

For some reason, I guessed who the murderer was early on in the story, but I don’t even really know why. I loved the Fisher household scenes, especially those where the pets were involved (gotta love Ember the cat and his puppy Molly!) and the one where Phryne drinks hot cocoa by a Dutch brand (it’s Droste, by the way - gotta love Kerry’s Greenwood’s research in all aspects of the story!).
