Again a trio from that duo, Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, puts Inspector Cramer and the NYC Police out of the running and adds kudos and cash for the fat man's fame. The Next Witness combines a phone answering service and blackmail for murder; When A Man Murders tackles inheritance with a man twice dead; Die Like A Dog provides Archie with a new pet and hinges on raincoats. Full of contrariety.
