Book cover: “The Poisoned Chocolates Case” by Anthony Berkeley (Collins, 1929); audiobook read by Gordon Griffin (Isis, 2017)

Berkeley employs a Detectives Club scenario to take a sly dig at the mystery genre, proffering several very plausible solutions to a murder by poisoning. While the protagonists aren’t as amusing as he seems to think, this remains a very good read.
