(1936) A theatrical producer begs Nero Wolfe to investigate the death of a model by poisoned chocolate -- but when Wolfe's investigation raises suspicions about the producer's niece, the producer orders him off the case. Pfft. As if. A dance of new clients and more bodies begins, to the tune of Wolfe's & Goodwin's trademark banter. The solution this time seems to emerge from nowhere, but I continue to enjoy this series.
