Raisins and Almonds

Super-sleuth Phryne Fisher steps, like an elegant cat, through this, her ninth adventure.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In investigating the poisoning of a young man in a bookshop at the Eastern Market, and the wrongful arrest of one Miss Sylvia Lee, Phryne Fisher is plunged into a world of Jewish politics, alchemy, poison, and chicken soup.

Stopping only for a brief, but intensely erotic, dalliance with the beautiful Simon Abrahams, Phryne picks her way through the mystery with help from the old faithfuls - Bert, Cec, Dot, and Detective Inspector 'Call Me Jack' Robinson. But ultimately, it is her stealth and wit which solve the crime - and all for the price of a song.

Raisins and Almonds offers a delightful journey through suspense and intrigue, crafted by the talented Kerry Greenwood.
