A Nero Wolfe mystery. Some pages coming away from hinges.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Rex Stout (1886–1975) wrote dozens of short stories, novellas, and full-length mystery novels, most featuring his two indelible characters, the peerless detective Nero Wolfe and his handy sidekick, Archie Goodwin.
Michael Prichard presents Wolfe and Goodwin just as Stout intended them. The old-fashioned (but not dated) story line, vocabulary, and slow pace are called into action when two separate murders are perpetrated within the ranks of the upper class. Goodwin makes his understated mark as he assists Wolfe with the New York City and countryside investigation. Seldom are words such as "phooey," "vulgarian," and "dunce" as well uttered! America in the 1950s is wonderfully recreated with the narrator's capable performance. Real fun for those who prefer their mysteries from an earlier era.
