The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman: Hercule Poirot by Agatha Christie, Agatha Christie
mysterious
fast-paced
3.0
When I finished reading this story, I had to flip back a few pages to the dinner menu. Soup julienne, sole à la Normande, beef tournedos, and rice pudding. Then I had to look up beef tournedos. Anyway: four courses and three guests. Admittedly, not all of the rice pudding was gone, but that's still the best part of twelve plates of food... and I'm not including the coffee and port.
And Poirot surmises it was all eaten by one person, and that this person devoured the lot in the space of half an hour or so. This is why I'm not a detective. I like my food, but that's unfathomable.
