Death Al Dente
““The demure Vanessa, seemingly devoted wife and partner of Bernardo, plant and flower chef, seen in the Fica with the demon king of the kitchen, Ottavio!” I said. “Does that have any significance as far as the puzzle of the three chefs is concerned? I can’t see how. It’s just a marital infidelity and nothing more, isn’t it? A sort of romantic culinary triangle?”

“Clearly, you have taken a dislike to this cleric you have never met.”
“He tried to kill you.”
“Yes but—”
“And he’s no more a cleric than he is pope.”
“It seems likely—”
She sighed in deep exasperation.MoreLess
