Champagne for One (1958)

One of my favorites and when A&E did it in their series they nailed it - I watched the show, then listened to the unabridged audio and even the dialog is so close that it is amazing. Great fun and a very difficult one solve. ( )

Nero Wolfe, is a middle aged, fat private detective who doesn't leave his private chambers ever. His ground work is done by a young associate, Archie Goodwin and few other collegues.

In this book, Ar hie is invited to a private party where a death occurs and all Including the police are convinced that it is a case of suicide except Archie. It's a story of how he and Mr Wolfe go about proving it with lots of cunning and stealth.

A fair read. Noting special or worth remembering. ( )

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. ( )
