Who in the world has ever read a gastronomical crime novel set in medieval Paris ? I sure hadn’t, until a friend gave me a copy of Michèle Barrière’s Souper Mortel aux Etuves, or Fatal Dinner at the Steamrooms. The novel begins in the year 1393 with a murder at a brothel disreputable steamroom, right in central Paris.
