Overview
"Sit down and prepare yourself for a satisfying banquet of murder. Your tastes - both literary and gastronomic - will be tantalized by this exemplary collection of stories by such giants as Agatha Christie, P.D. James, Georges Simenon, and Roald Dahl." "Throughout history, food and drink have been used as convenient vehicles for the administering of a fatal dose. Small wonder, then, that the golden age of crime fiction has seen a feast of stories in which murder features prominently on the menu. From the breakfast porridge laced with arsenic to the bedtime cocoa doctored with strychnine, no meal has escaped the determined killer. Country house parties have had a predilection for weedkiller, while many a restaurant specialty has concealed a deadly dose of cyanide in the delicately flavored sauce." "Poison is not the only weapon chosen by the mealtime murderer. Guns, knives, and the good old-fashioned blunt instrument have all been used to strike down the unsuspecting victim."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
