What is The red box : a Nero Wolfe mystery about?

A lovely woman is dead, and the fortunes of overextended theatrical producer Llewellyn Frost depend on solving the mystery of the red box: two pounds of candied fruits, nuts and creams, covered with chocolate -- and laced with potassium cyanide. When Nero Wolfe's suspicion falls on Frost's kissing cousin, Frost wants the detective to kill the sickly sweet case--before it kills him.Review"It is always a treat to [hear] a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." -- The New York Times Book Review "Nero Wolfe, the fat detective of Rex Stout's novels, towers over his rivals...he is an exceptional character creation." -- The New Yorker "Rex Stout...raised detective fiction to the level of art. He gave us genius of at least two kinds, and a strong realist voice that was shot through with hope." -- Walter Mosley "The model never dreamed that one little piece of candy would kill her, but it did!...Listen as Nero and Archie take on the case of this high-fashion corpse and two other stiffs. The Red Box is unabridged, superbly recorded, with Michael Prichard's narration doing full justice to this clever murder mystery." -- Reviewer's BookwatchFrom the Publisher6 1.5-hour cassette
