A Right to Die (Nero Wolfe, #40)
by Rex Stout, David Stout
by Rex Stout, David Stout
First Rex Stout book I ever finished. "A Right To Die" ties in to the first murdered girl and the civil rights group she works with rather than euthanasia rights. Dialogue was better than expected. Decent murder mystery / whodunit all the way to the end. You can see shades of where Robert B. Parker got some of Spenser's attitude/thinking from.
Set in the mid 1960's, the examination of racial attitudes is a good wake-up call to the blatancy of the prejudice of those days, and a reminder that even though it's been many years since then, there are still those who have it buried down deep.
