Davidson's Fiction Novels
1,112 wordsI could never have imagined that anyone would drool as they read a fiction mystery novel. However, not too long after I plunged into Diane Davidson's novel, The Last Supper, my own taste buds were soon activated. Diane Davidson's fiction novels, namely: The Last Supper, Cereal Murder, Die for Chocolate, and Tough Cookies all have plots that are cooking related. Compared to Chinese fiction, English fiction is much harder for me to finish reading. However, the way in which Davidson weaves her stor...
