Raisins and Almonds: Phryne Fisher's Murder Mysteries 9

Author(s): Kerry Greenwood

Crime Fiction

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....
