Great book! The first Nero Wolfe I have ever read. Rex Stout has a great style that I loved and was close to my personal perfect writer, Stephen King in his style. The only complaint is Wolfe's thesaurus-like dialogue that I would have to look up from time to time. Lots of twists and turns and a lot of characters to remember but I kept them all clear in my head! Archie Goodwin is the best and I loved his narration through out. Highly recommended!
