The Devil's Corner, by Lisa Scottoline

Our heroine, Vicki Allegretti, is an Assistant U.S. Attorney who feels the need to go Nancy Drew from time to time. She also pines for a married man, Dan.

Dan comes to her house early and fixes breakfast: coffee, eggs scrambled in butter.

The night before, Vicki notes that she had eggs too. A lot of eggs get eaten in these fairly fluffy detective novels.

At home for lunch: turkey sandwich, coffee

On stakeout with new friend: McDonald's burger (friend has salad in a cup)

Dinner at home with Dan (Vicki cooks): filet mignon with onions, baked potato

The Rottweiler, by Ruth Rendell

We don't get to watch many of these characters eat. It is a cast of many, but the ones who seem to eat most often are Becky and her nephew Will.

Will appears to subsist on eggs, toast, fried potatoes (chips), sometimes fried tomatoes. He brings sandwiches for lunch with the ingredients not divulged.

Becky too offers and eats eggs for dinner from time to time, more often than I'd expect. She prepares a meal of porked chops, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots for Will and his "girlfriend" Kim.

Kim and Will go out to eat at a Lebanese restaurant one time, but we don't know what they had.

S is for Silence (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries), by Sue Grafton

I missed reporting on several books. There wasn't much eating going on in them, but that's meaningful in itself.

Breakfast after a run: cereal

Lunch with Chet, one of the characters in the case: Santa Maria-style barbecue (tri-tip, salsa, beans, rolls)

Lunch at local restaurant-bar with client and friend: filet mignon, medium rare, salad, baked potato (not for these folks any adventuring)

Lunch in car with client Daisy, from deli: braunschweiger on rye. Daisy and another character have sliced-turkey on sourdough. Also nibbled: potato chips, sodas, cookies.

Breakfast at motel: eggs, bacon, toast
