Of course describing the drinks gives us insight into the social class of the characters. It provides entertainment value by the reader more readily 'recognizing" the characters. That is part of a murder mystery always, gives us clues, or perhaps intentionally misleading pseudo-clues.
- simondotau 3y agoThe best clue in televised murder shows is how good (or how famous) the actor is.
- jmkd 3y agoI have watched most of the Christie murder mystery films several times each, and as long as I have a year or two between viewings I remain quite incapable of remembering whodunnit. Instead I happily succumb to Christie's red herrings and the visual whims of the director to lead me off the beaten path.
- galaxyLogic 3y agoI've had the same experience with the books. After I read all Agatha Christie murder-mystery books, I started re-rereading them, and could not recall who dun-it. I have to say I think it's not great literature if it's so easy to forget the plot.
