In this delightful pastiche, Kerry Greenwood and Jenny Pausacker take nine crime-fiction writers who wrote with flair about food and create a short story in the style of each. Ghosting the pens of Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler, among others, they lead their sleuths through gastronomic mysteries, uncovering a slather of great cooking tips along the way. Each story is preceded by a running history of the development of crime writing. Recipes for Crime is a witty and engaging homage to the detective story, a testimony to the fact that the way to a crime aficionado's soul is indeed through the stomach.
