  <default_description>Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe books are all great fun, full of wonderful food and the arcane details of hobbies as diverse as orchid growing and Balkan history. But in this outing, things suddenly become much more serious when Wolfe and his sidekick Archie Goodwin face the malevolent forces of J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI minions. Luckily, Stout's heart and his writing style are more than equal to the challenge.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of my two favorite Nero Wolfe's--it's the one where Nero takes on the FBI.  Neither the murder nor the solution are particularly interesting, but that really doesn't matter, since the important &quot;mystery&quot; Nero Wolfe must solve here is how--in the age of J. Edgar Hoover--he can h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1336925">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Rex Stout gets his licks in on J.Edgar Hoover and the FBI in this Nero Wolfe mystery and it's a worthy effort. Join Archie as he listens and Wolfe reads while Hoover stands outside the brownstone on 34th Street in New York.<br/><br/>If you've been very, very good, reward yourself by starting up wi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30618135">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Archie is a very reliable unreliable narrator, Nero is the gourmandizing successor to Mycroft Holmes, and their oddly diverting world is as intricate as a mechanical time-piece. This one has political overtones -- and has stood the test of time very well: today everyone knows the FBI is not to be tr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36326281">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Looking bsck on this book, it ssems to me like it had little point to it other than to belittle the FBI.  I was receptive to the agenda at the time I read it.  On balance, however, it seems to me this book didn't do a very good job of addressing the real issues.]]></body>
