    <body><![CDATA[One of the best Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin mysteries, but it shouldn't be the first one you read -- too much of the enjoyment of this story depends on being well-acquainted with Wolfe's personality and peculiarities.  The supporting cast (Panzer, Durkin, Cather, etc.) is in full force and great form....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52307602">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wouldn't say that this is my favorite Nero Wolfe book, but I like it mostly because it puts Wolfe and Archie Goodwin in a situation in which they have the chance to be noble and compassionate, and they are.

    <body><![CDATA[Fast, funny, wry, addictive – Stout combines two of my favorite genres, the comfy-cozy (Wolfe) and the hardboiled (Archie). This is my first Nero Wolfe. It's not quite honest but it hangs together. It's a nice, tight mystery. I will definitely read more. The motivations of the characters are a bit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60720676">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My first Nero Wolfe book!<br/><br/>Not quite five stars, but a darn, darn fine book. Tight, sharp prose. Delicious employer-employee relationship between Nero Wolfe (what a name!) and Archie Goodwin. <br/><br/>Definitely worth opening and giving it a try.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Warming up for my summer campaign to read only things I have already read. This is a top-notch Rex Stout. Lotsa laffs. Also more rough stuff than usual. <br/><br/>And Archie describes a mostly brown ensemble that sounds perfectly foul.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow, the end story was quite convoluted!  There were some real one-liner gems in this one that made me laugh out loud.  I just can't find any bad stuff to say about Nero Wolfe.  I want to grow up to be him.]]></body>
