At every banquet, a guest brings an unsolvable puzzle or enigma to the table, and the witty, intellectually sparring club members attempt to crack it — only to be consistently outshone by their unassuming waiter, Henry, whose quiet brilliance and razor-sharp deductive reasoning invariably save the day. Asimov's signature style — sharp, dialogue-driven, and laced with dry humour — makes each story a brisk and satisfying puzzle-box. The collection showcases the author's remarkable gift for constructing fair-play mysteries that reward attentive readers while keeping the tone light, conversational, and thoroughly entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888013586651,"sku":"2026100006592-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5dea13f2-8d26-4240-89f6-630bb7720aaa.png?v=1781752739","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006592-secondhand-banquets-of-the-black-widowers-a-collection-of-mysteries","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
