Savoring Peter King

I just brought home Dying on the Vine from the library. The Gourmet Detective is one of my favorite sleuths. The food descriptions tantalize -- who cares about the murders and if they get solved?

For those who haven't read any of them, start at the beginning. I think the second book, Spiced to Death was King's best. When you get to number 8, skip it. I didn't care much for Dine and Die on the Danube Express. The writing struck me as rough, the story hurried along unnecessarily.
