Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries "Murder & Mozzarella" #3.3 (2015)

"Not eating Italian tonight, Jack?", 24 June 2017

An Italian grandmother who cooks for her own restaurant is killed in her kitchen. Phryne and Jack investigate and find themselves on opposite sides of a decades old feud involving two Italian families. Complicating matters is a Romeo and Juliet type romance between two of the younger family members. What's behind the old feud? Surely it's more than a stolen recipe book.

This is getting terribly repetitive. Murder and Mozzarella is another in a long line of fantastic episodes that I've rated an 8/10. These things are just so good and so entertaining. The mystery here is top notch as Jack and Phryne must not only find a present day killer, but also uncover old, buried secrets. Murder and Mozzarella includes plenty of gun play and other action as our heroes mix it up with the Australian version of the mafia. I always like an episode where Phryne has a reason to whip out that little, but dangerous, gun. The mystery's conclusion is more than satisfactory.

The best thing about this episode though is watching Phryne's jealousy. In most episode, Jack has to suffer through Phryne's endless stream of suitors. Here, the tables are turned. What fun!

8/10
