" This has got to be the very best Nero Wolfe novel ever written. From the quirky client to the nefarious FBI to Wolfe's brilliant scheme to Cramer buying Archie milk, this book is a masterpiece. If you've ever read a Nero Wolfe, The Doorbell Rang should be next on your list. And if you haven't ever stepped into the brownstone to watch Wolfe's seventh of a ton breed orchids, eat extravagant dinners, and (occasionally) solve mysteries, then you are seriously missing out. "
