A Fatal Invitation to Dinner | A Nero Wolfe Story

An elegant dinner invitation should promise good food and polite company — but inside Nero Wolfe’s brownstone, a carefully planned meal becomes the beginning of a deadly puzzle.

When a guest fails to leave the table alive, the incident is dismissed as an unfortunate accident. Wolfe, however, recognizes the familiar pattern of a murder concealed behind manners, routine, and silence. Every course served, every polite exchange, and every empty chair carries meaning.

With Inspector Cramer demanding answers and tensions rising among the guests, Archie Goodwin is sent into the city to question those who smiled too easily and spoke too carefully. A poisoned remark, a perfectly timed interruption, and a motive hidden behind social niceties slowly reveal the truth.

From the calm of his office, Nero Wolfe strips away deception with cold logic, proving that civility and good manners can be the deadliest disguises of all.

Settle in for a classic noir mystery filled with sharp deductions, restrained danger, and vintage atmosphere — where a simple dinner invitation becomes the perfect setup for murder.
