    " The last story in my omnibus of 7 Rex Stout novels. Watergate, Nixon, President Ford mentioned, but all red herrings. The ending stunned me. "

    " I hadn't read any Rex Stout in a while, and I'd forgotten what a pleasure he is to read. I think I'll read my way through all of the Nero Wolfe novels this year. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Bruce | 2/4/2010

    " It had some snappy dialogue, but I just couldn't get into it that much. Main characters had personality, but the others were flat. Not sure if I want to try another one by the same author. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Joe | 9/5/2009

    " Good; Continuing character: Nero Wolfe; when the their favorite waiter at a nearby restaurant is killed by an explosion in Wolfe's home, the detective works to determine who is to blame
    "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Laura (ME) | 9/2/2009

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Chris M. | 8/21/2009

    " Just did a 2 day re-read of this last novel from Rex Stout; I'm still astounded by the revelation of the killer towards the end of the book. A marvelous last book from the master... "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Elizabeth | 4/28/2009

    " I always wanted to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The writing was tongue in cheek--I found the character of Archie Goodwin to be very funny. The settings and current affairs were vintage 70s. That seems so old now but fun to listen to. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Alleycatfan | 3/24/2009

    " Man, I loved it. The big surprise is well... surprising. It's in the running for my favorite. "Black Orchids" still holds it. "
