Satisfaction Guaranteed. What a grand love affair people have with food, the only thing that can simultaneously delight all five senses. The sound of a porterhouse steak as it sizzles on the grill...the sight of a golden brown turkey roasting in the oven...the cool feel of watermelon on a steamy day...the smell of apple pie as it bakes to perfection...all fill us with delight and joy. But the final most glorious sense-taste-is sated with the first delectable bite. Some people's appetite for food is exceeded only by their appetite for crime. As our demand for creative dishes has increased, so has the opportunity for evil epicureans to combine their talent for wickedness with their love of good food and drink. Thus they are able to lay their victims low in one fell swoop, using nothing more than a well-cooked meal or specially concocted libation. This menu of eighteen stories of culinary crimes and death beckons everyone. Readers are advised to quiet any hunger pangs before turning the pages, for the meals described may be worth dying for. As an added bonus, recipes pertinent to each story's flavor are included, making this savory concoction, indeed, a true collection of Murder Most Delectable.
