Cooking The DetectivesA bite sized guide to the tastiest TV detective shows

Condition: Very Good — £14.53
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

When life gets too much, do you shut out the world and settle down on the sofa with a nice cup of tea and an episode of Murder, She Wrote or Columbo? Do you have pangs of nostalgia for Starsky & Hutch, Kojak or Charlie's Angels? Or maybe you are new to this genre of fabulous small-screen entertainment and would like some guidance? Take a peek at my Cop 40. A Top of the Cops countdown of the best TV shows featuring private eyes, amateur sleuths and fully trained police officers who track down the baddies. I propose a taster episode for each series so you can try before you buy. Dip your toe into the crime scene and see if it tickles your fancy.

To elevate your viewing experience, I have selected favourite recipes from the kitchens of the actors and actresses who portray the great and the good of crime-solving. You'll find the signature dishes of Telly Savalas, David Suchet, Raymond Burr, Peter Falk, James Garner, Tom Selleck, Angela Lansbury and many more within these pages. From Dragnet to Vera, I suggest appropriate fodder to accompany your TV detective show viewing. Treat yourself to a classic! With sustenance!

Great gift for any fan of a TV detective show!
