Murder on the Menu

As any fan of Agatha Christie knows, Hercule Poirot is a gourmand. There’s more to the private eye than his patent leather shoes, fastidiously maintained mustache, and brilliant deductive mind. In fact, nothing is more quintessentially Poirot than his attitude to food. In Murder on the Menu, detective fiction doyenne Karen Pierce builds on the celebrated detective’s epicurean philosophy and serves up more than 65 of her original recipes in invented menus, including Dauphin Potatoes inspired by Lord Edgeware Dies, Mulligatawny Soup inspired by “Four and Twenty Blackbirds,” Apple Pie with Devonshire Cream inspired by “The Case of the Missing Will,” and more. Headnotes investigate the insightful details about each dish’s history, its context in Christie’s life and times, and the roles it plays in the source works, while charming illustrations adorn each page. Perfect for murder mystery dinner clubs and parties, Murder on the Menu is an invaluable addition to any Christie enthusiast’s collection.MURDER ON THE MENU has not been prepared, approved, or licensed by Agatha Christie Limited, RLJ Entertainment, or any individual or entity associated with Agatha Christie or her successors.
