A very good Nero Wolfe story, which first introduced me to the camelot du roi. I'm not entirely certain that the cover illustration accurately depicts anything in the book, but why should it? (And, yes, a young woman dies, but it is never even suggested that she looked like that in death--she died, it should be noted, before the book even begins.
Read all of the great Nero Wolfe series. Archie Goodwin is one of the great characters in mystery fiction and an inspiration for Wyatt Storme's Chick Easton. -- W. L. Ripley
I've read all the books, some more than once. That's a mere bagatelle compared to a couple of people who read this blog and who've read the series so many times that they have the books practically memorized.

Smile, when you say that, stranger.
