Где Цезарь кровью истекал

Nero Wolfe's character is so distinctive—his love for orchids, his laziness, and sharp mind. I'm curious what inspired these traits and how they shape the story.

Some chapters felt more talk than action, but I wonder if that was intentional to build the atmosphere and character dynamics.

The city feels alive in the background, but I wonder how much of that was based on real locations versus fictional scenery.
