Il delitto è servito

Among poisons that are mixed with drinks or dishes and dining rooms that lend themselves as the setting for ingenious crimes, Il delitto è servito by Maurizio Gelatti debunks the prejudice that has always accompanied English cuisine. Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, page after page, recipe after recipe, accompany the reader to the discovery of two discreet protagonists of the most famous detective novels in the world: food and British eating habits. With being on the edge of your seat , you can reread Agatha Christie\’s novels in a continuous unraveling of reciprocal relationships between suspense, literature and the pleasures of the palate.
