    Yikes!  Women on the premises.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2019*

It is really hard to chose my favorite Nero Wolfe story because every one of them has something that makes me glad I read it. This one, though, has some of my favorite things: Wolfe leaving the old brownstone, Wolfe playing "chicken" with one of his oldest acquaintances; women on the premises - office, kitchen, dining room, bedroom. Holy Cow, how did Wolfe survive?It began with Archie appreciating the view of a woman's very fine legs. First published in 1942, this story has Wolfe sending Archie to a flower show to look at some black orchids on display - naturally, according to Wolfe, they couldn't possibly really be black. While he's there Archie is only one of many people who stop by a display from a nursery which features a sunny glade with a man and woman enjoying the plants and the water feature. At a specific time each day the crowd builds as the woman removes her shoes and dips her toes into the bubbling stream while the man naps in the background. Archie is smitten and declares he will marry the fair damsel. As the story unfolds Wolfe finds a way to solve a case and reap his idea of the perfect reward.This whole series is highly recommended. Start anywhere you like because Rex Stout wrote the books so there is no chronological order. This one is rather sweet with the exposure of naked toes being swirled in the water enough to cause a stir.

    Two mysteries involving the black orchids
  

*by J***  on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018*

These are lumped together because of the orchids. Wolfe was determined to obtain these plants that belonged to Mr. Hewett, another orchid grower. In Black Orchids a death occurs at the flower show where Mr. Hewett has the orchids on display, and Wolfe's fee for saving him from a murder charge is all three of the plants. There aren't many clues, but Wolfe is able to determine who the murderer is. There is a big surprise at the conclusion.In Cordially Invited to Meet Death a woman hires Wolfe to find out who is trying to ruin her reputation. However, she dies before he has a chance to get very far in his investigation. He sends a flower arrangement of eight black orchids to her funeral and tells Archie he is finished because he no longer has a client. Archie is unable to let it go and continues to look for clues to the murder. Ultimately, Wolfe is able to identify the killer before Inspector Cramer is able to serve a warrant to hold Wolfe and Archie as material witnesses. Both are good mysteries and I highly recommend this book.
