Gourmet Detective
“1. There weren’t enough to even convince me. I tried François on the same basis. I had to acquit him too.
They couldn’t be sabotaging each other’s restaurants in a continuing feud because the feud didn’t exist. Could each be sabotaging his own restaurant? I was getting so far out in my theorising, I considered even that but it was too absurd.
And if Raymond and François were not sabotaging each other’s restaurant then there appeared to be no connection with IJ that could have led to mur...der.
I needed a new suspect.
Roger St Leger moved to the head of the list.
He had a clear motive. He wanted IJ’s programme and if the current rumours were correct, he was about to get it. Could he have poisoned the lamprey? He had visited the restaurant. True, he looked clean-cut and innocent but I was disregarding that.
The only other clues I had were the furtive way he handed that envelope to IJ at the Circle dinner and his denial of any knowledge as to what the envelope contained.MoreLess
