Against the Currant
by Olivia Matthews
I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Every chapter of this book made me crave every single food described. I absolutely loved hearing about the food and drinks I've never seen or tried and I really think it helped immerse you in the family dynamic and their culture. The mystery that comes along with it was a great bonus because I wouldn't necessarily come out of this and think it fits great into that specific genre.
There was so much detail in every other aspect that it felt more like the who did it scenario was a side quest or little adventure she happens to take and not necessarily the main plot point. But that's not to say I didn't absolutely enjoy it and thought it was a refreshing take. Our main character was likable and while the end results were slightly predictable it felt satisfying still to find out.
