I love Nero Wolfe. One of my best friends introduced me to Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin just a couple of months ago and I've devoured every one of the Nero Wolfe novels that I can get my hands on. A fairly innocuous dinner party turns out to be much more, in this one. You'll only come close to guessing whodunnit near the very end. (

I like this because Archie is out to avenge a poor unwed mother. (

First words

If it hadn't been raining and blowing that raw Tuesday morning in March I would have been out, walking to the bank to deposit a couple of checks, when Austin Byne phoned me, and he might have tried somebody else.

Faith Usher tells anyone willing to listen that she wants to kill herself. So when she dies after drinking champagne at the annual gala for unwed mothers, everyone insists that it was suicide. Everyone except Archie Goodwin, the perennial wise guy, who was watching her drink.
