52. Ellery Queen’s International Case Book

20 short stories, each taking place in a different part of the world. It’s kind of like eating dessert 20 times in a row.

...I think we've done that.

Except that on his summary page Ed only rates this book 2 stars out of 5. That sounds more like eating something vaguely unpleasant 20 times rather than dessert.

[edting]

You are both right. If you were to eat 20 desserts in a row, the first two or three would taste really good. After a while you start yearning for something more substantial.

[jeffp]

There is nothing more substantial or important than dessert.
