3 à Porta do Lobo

Nero Wolfe's character is so distinctive—what do you think inspired his love for orchids and his reclusive nature? Did it add depth to the mystery for anyone else?

Some chapters felt a bit slow as Wolfe and Archie unraveled clues, but I wonder if that was intentional to build suspense or just a feature of the era's style.

The setting of Wolfe's brownstone creates such a cozy yet mysterious vibe. I wonder if this choice was to emphasize his intellectual dominance or for narrative convenience.
