the widow of albert grantham holds a swanky dinner party for unwed mothers the charity closest to her late husband s heart not to raise money for unwed mothers the mothers themselves are the guests of honor though the purpose behind this event is a little obscure even to mrs robilotti she dutifully honors her deceased husband s wishes archie is not surprised to learn that some of these young ladies lead complicated emotional lives but the normally unflappable detective is stunned when faith usher drops dead after downing a glass of the very best champagne faith s death is quickly dismissed as
