Archie, while visiting gal-pal Lily Rowan's Montana estate, takes a leave of absence from his job with Wolfe in order to clear Lily's foreman from a charge of murder. Wolfe, rather than be deprived of his invaluable assistant, endures the perils of plane flight and canned tomato soup in order to get his trusty Dr. Watson back home.
The plot's not much, but it is serviceable, and Nero roughing it in the Wild West is something no Rex Stout fan will want to miss.

Il mio esordio con Nero Wolfe non è stato dei più felici. Conosco il personaggio dai telefilm, ricordo che Tino Buazzelli lo interpretò tanti anni fa (ne ho visto qualche scena su youtube, non ricordo lo sceneggiato), e recentemente la Rai ha mandato in onda un’altra serie di Nero Wolfe, qualche volta mi è capitato di dargli un’occhiata e mi sono fatta un’idea su che tipo è: mastodontico, misogino, casalingo, ombroso, antipatico. Ho ritrovato queste caratteristiche nel “Nero Wolfe e il caso dei mirtilli” , che presenta una particolarità: il nostro detective, che non si sposta mai dal suo appartamento a New York dove trascorre il tempo a cucinare e coltivare orchidee, si reca nel Montana, in un paesino microscopico con poche centinaia di abitanti, dove si trova Archie Goodwin, il suo aiutante storico, ospite in un ranch dell’amica Lily. Lo fa perché Archie gli ha comunicato che non tornerà a casa fino a quando non avrà risolto un caso di omicidio, di cui è stato accusato uno degli aiutanti di Lily nel ranch. La narrazione è in prima persona, è Archie che racconta (ho letto che tutti i volumi di nero Wolfe sono strutturati in questo modo): già questo mi piace poco. In più la storia è piatta, le indagini languono perché Archie non riesce a cavare un ragno dal buco in un paesino in cui gli “stranieri” sono malvisti, poi arriva Nero Wolfe ma non succede nulla, anzi sì, c’è un altro omicidio, viene ucciso nella macchina di Archie l’uomo che aveva scoperto il primo cadavere. Il povero Archie ci va di mezzo, ma Wolfe ha già risolto il caso, senza che noi lettori potessimo in qualche modo partecipare ai suoi ragionamenti (peraltro molto limitati) Troppo prevedibile, troppo piatto. Mi ha deluso questo primo giallo di Rex Stout, magari ci riproverò.

While Archie is vacationing with Lily Rowan on her ranch in Montana, he becomes involved in a murder. Wolfe decides to travel to Montana to assist in order to get Archie back to New York more quickly!
While I liked the Montana setting, I felt that the mystery was not as good as I expect from Rex Stout.

This was a nice chance of pace since Archie was in Lamehorse, Montana and the murder happened when a dude was picking huckleberries. Nero Wolfe leaves New York and faces a completely different lifestyle. He doesn't like not being in charge.

Not Stout's best work, although the mystery was fine enough.
Archie Goodwin is staying in Montana to investigate the murder of a man a lot of people would have liked to see dead. The main suspect is a man whose daughter was impregnated by the murder victim, the previous year.
Archie and Nero believe this man is innocent, but they are the only ones who do. We meet a lot of people through Archie who interviews anyone and everyone connected to the man who was murdered and might have a motive.
The ending is quite good and, while it was hard to keep track of everyone, the logic stayed on track and the conclusion was interesting and believable.

Archie was in Montana when the murder happened and he wrote to Nero that his vacation would have to be longer than planned. Sure enough, Nero traveled to Montana to help out because his life depends on his having Archie as his foil - and his right arm in solving mysteries. To complicate matters further for the reader, there is no client. The reader has no background from which to observe.
I much prefer Archie and Nero in the Brownstone on 35th in New York City. In Montana the wonderful relationship between the two is mostly missing. Those of us who have read enough of the series to know what should be there can fill in the blanks - sort of. At the same time, I knew this was thin on what makes this series so darned good. And I felt that loss.
It's hard for me to imagine a Nero Wolfe that is so poor as to garner only 2 stars, but I'm afraid this comes pretty close. Maybe not the very bottom of the 3-star barrel, but very very close.

This is, in some respects, one of the more charming Nero Wolfe mysteries. The entire novel takes place around Lame Horse, Montana, which is perhaps eerily prophetic, and it is full of local color and characters. Seeing the pampered, housebound New York City detective out of his element for the whole book is an entertaining change of pace that hasn't occurred since 1954 in The Black Mountain. Among other delectables, we are treated to the exquisite gourmet Wolfe being summoned to dinner with, “Come and get it, before the grease sets”. There is also a delightful exchange with a local woman who is unfamiliar with his reputation. She innocently remarks, “You know how a woman’s mind works”. He gruffly replies, “I do not. No one does”.
Unfortunately, Stout spoils things with a deus ex machina ending. He parachutes in a culprit who could not have plausibly been deduced by the cleverest reader. No clue or hint of the information needed to suspect him is foreshadowed beforehand. In the final pages, Wolfe launches into his customary speech revealing him with a key fact that has been completely withheld from readers. Everything else up to that point has been a deliberate red herring. This is a cheap trick, Wolfe might call it flummery. It is highly objectionable in any mystery by any writer. It is embarrassing enough that even a hack writer would know it needed to be rewritten. Any publisher would have rejected it, were it not from an author with as devotedly bankable an audience as Stout's 44-book Nero Wolfe series. Mercifully, this is the first time in the series so far that Stout has dropped such a steaming cowflop.
This might have been headed for a 4-star rating before the odious denouement, but I can't rate it any higher than 2 stars due to the obnoxious conclusion. It rates the lousiest 1 star as a mystery, but the earlier atmospherics were enjoyable enough to add a star. As a mystery, it is the worst book of the first 44. Is Rex Stout losing it at 83? Only 3 to go...

I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this one much. Wolfe and Archie belong in New York City; the city is as much a character as Inspector Cramer and Lon Cohen are. Nevertheless, it was fun although it will never be my favorite.
Archie is visiting Lily Rowan at her Montana ranch when Phillip Brodell, a guest at a neighboring ranch, is shot and killed. The county sheriff has it in for Lily’s foreman, Harvey Greve, and arrests him. It’s true Harvey has adequate motive; last year Brodell seduced Greve’s teenage daughter and she became pregnant. Nevertheless, Archie and Lily are convinced Harvey didn’t do it, mostly because the first shot struck Brodell in the back. 1. Harvey would never shoot anyone — human or animal — in the back; and 2. Harvey would never need more than one shot to kill anything he intended to kill.
So Archie is playing detective all by himself and writes Wolfe to let him know his return to the brownstone on West 35th will be delayed. This is unsatisfactory to Wolfe; and a few days later, a taxi pulls up at Lily’s cabin and Wolfe gets out. The sheriff is most definitely NOT happy that some New York PI, and a “fat slob” to boot, is sticking his nose in his business. And as soon as the sheriff has half an excuse — another murder — he arrests Archie, and Wolfe, too, although Wolfe is merely under house arrest at Lily’s whilst Archie is moldering away in the horrid county jail.
Nevertheless, thanks to a message Archie sends to Wolfe, Wolfe is able to find the murderer. It is VERY satisfactory, and satisfying, when Wolfe rubs the sheriff’s nose in it, and there isn’t a durned thing the sheriff can do except take it. Very satisfactory. 😉

Wonderful!
My dad’s favourite books as I grew up, and something I figured I would enjoy. I purchased it for $2 in Detroit, and it was well worth it. I was actually surprised at how excellent the writing was - smart, funny, and packed with small details.
I’ll definitely look for more Nero Wolfe novels in the future!

This Nero Wolfe mystery takes place in Montana. It starts slow, with Wolfe not appearing until a quarter to a third of the way into the book, but it finishes strong in the last few chapters. I thought it was good, but not great: just moderately amusing.

This might be my lowest rated Nero Wolfe book of them all. There were a couple of reasons why I like it less than many of the others.
The primary reason, I have mentioned before, is that the solution of the mystery relied entirely on information known only to Wolfe and not revealed until the final scene. That feels like a cheap trick to me. As usual it was conveyed by having Archie have no success in his tasks and at his being kept away from the investigation being done.
The second thing that bugged me is that I don't think Lily Rowan was consistent with the character I expected. There was almost none of the teasing competition we usually see between her and Archie, and she was more than willing to let Nero do anything he wanted even to shutting her out with no complaint from her. She has never been a wallflower and it hurt me to watch it done to that character.
Finally since it was set on a dude ranch Stout went to pains to make Archie say dude ranch style sayings, like not having a bridle between his teeth, or scared as a cat in a rocking chair factory. I made the last one up, in the sense that it's not in the book but it captures that folksy pseudo-charming type text. It didn't sound right coming from him and regardless of how many weeks he was there it never felt authentic to me.

Talk about a fish out of water! Nero Wolfe in Montana!!!!! When a man is killed near Lily Rowan's ranch, and Archie is ineffective getting the populace to talk, Nero leaves his creature comforts and arrives in Montana to help (well to get Archie to come home really, but if he has to solve the murder, so be it). Add in a couple of lawyers, a rude sheriff, a fascinating character named Woody and several trout and you've got yourself a Nero Wolfe mystery to savor!

A truly fun entry in the series.
Archie starts out on vacation and ends up knee deep in a murder. The victim is a friend of the ever-elegant Lily Rowan, so Archie decides to take on the case before Lily can ask.
In a very short time, Archie realizes that he is up against a very insular community and a county sheriff more interested in the next election than in doing his job. Of course, this means he has to stay longer and writes his regrets to Wolfe.
A clear hint for assistance grants the intrepid Archie more than he expected. Nero Wolfe not only stirs up state and county officials in Montana, but he gets on a plane and arrives himself. Holy Smoke!
As always, Nero and Archie stir everyone up. In the middle of it, another murder is committed which gets Archie tossed in the county jail by the previously mentioned sheriff. It is this incident that breaks the case for our favorite American detectives (Mike Hammer excepted of course).
The reveal is handed in a manner that I have never seen in another Wolfe novel and I'm not sure it has been done this way ever. I really enjoyed it, and I hope you do as well.
A must-read for fans of detective stories and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a good story.

Maybe 3.5 but I really missed Wolfe in the first quarter of this book. And I wish this had been one to make it to the screen- Wolfe wandering around Montana, shaking hands, removing his shoes... priceless.
September 29, 2015
Interesting that this was published in 1958 but takes place in 1968? Nero and Archie in Montana, near Helena. Archie doesn't call him but Nero shows up and goes to work. Poor Archie in jail again. The smart remarks are toned down in this story and Nero is a much nicer person than normal. He even takes his shoes and socks off and gets his feet wet in the creek.

I always choose a Nero Wolfe mystery when I need to relax. they're fun, smart and clever. Archie Goodwin is one of my favorite characters and I love hearing these detective novels as told from his perspective. Death of a Dude finds Archie in Montana, investigating the death of one of the guests at the ranch where Archie is currently staying. Eventually, Nero Wolfe becomes involved in the investigation, and the genius detective puts everything into fast motion. So much fun, I highly recommend this series!

Honestly, these books put me to sleep. It's just so...comfortable...reading about Nero Wolfe's interviews and Archie's reports!

Mais uma aventura do detective Nero Wolf, com o assistente, Archie Goodwin.
Nesta história, o Sr. Wolf mexe-se mais do que é habitual.

This book isn't one of the shining stars in the Wolfe firmament, but it features Wolfe going to MONTANA because ARCHIE, so I enjoy it very much.
October 10, 2020
For a Nero Wolfe mystery, the best that can be said is that it is just OK. By the barest margins a three-star book, interesting for the dialogue and somewhat because Wolfe is outside of New York City at a small Montana ranch.
Author Stout, through sidekick character Archie Goodwin, tries to make a distinction out of that feature...and it rings hollow, because Wolfe has left his NYC townhome at least twice previously (Too Many Cooks, Black Mountain). The bloom is off that rose.
The mystery isn't very well-developed. There's no character development, who is dead before Archie begins the tale nor sympathy for the victim, who had impregnated the daughter of the foreman. We don't meet the foreman either. Another victim has stitch more development, but he's not sympathetic either. The rest of the Wolfe posse is there by name -- well, only Saul P. is mentioned -- but are not physically on the scene. The legal profession in the form of the district attorney and the scarcely-present defense attorney aren't strong allies. The sheriff and his deputy are the law, but aren't law-abiding. The book just has a sour taste. Speaking of taste, the food that's almost a character in Nero Wolfe is highlighted by a barely-described trout meal served on aluminum foil.
The features that make the Nero Wolfe compendium so special are by and large missing. It's just a weird story.

#44 in the Nero Wolfe series. Nearing the end of his career, Stout comes up with a show-stopper. Wolfe leaves his NYC, W. 35th St. brownstone for one of his very few acceptable reasons, in this case rescuing Archie Goodwin. This 1969 novel takes place entirely away from home and to the best of my recollection this is the first time that happens since Too Many Cooks (1938) and Some Buried Caesar (1939), #s 5 & 6 in the series.
Nero Wolfe series - Archie Goodwin was on vacation at Lily Rowen's ranch when her foreman was arrested for murder. Archie phoned Wolfe that he couldn't return until the crime was solved. The mountain couldn't come to Wolfe, so the great detective came to the mountain--to Lame Horse, Montana, to be exact. Here a city slicker got a country girl pregnant and then took a bullet in the back. Wolfe's job was to get an innocent man exonerated of the crime and catch a killer in the process. But when he packed his silk pajamas and headed west, he found himself embroiled in a case rife with local cynicism, slipshod police work, and unpleasant political ramifications. In fact, Nero Wolfe was buffaloed until the real killer struck again, underestimating the dandified dude with an unerring instinct for detection.

Late (1969) era Wolfer takes place on ranches and in a small town in Montana. Big city slicker who impregnated a local girl is murdered. The girl’s father, Lily’s ranch manager, is accused thus involving Archie and the big guy. I avoided this one for a long time because, well, this is Nero Wolfe, not “Andy of Mayberry.” Amazingly, it all works out and my theories about the centrality of the brown stone to the Wolfe stories is exposed for the lame brain crack pot theory that it is. Oh well.

Boy, is this ever a different kind of Nero Wolfe book. There's no brownstone, barely any fine cooking, no orchids, and most amazing of all, Wolfe is out and about. The book is set in Montana, so Wolfe having to travel is a given. But it's fun to read how Wolfe conducts himself and copes with this unexpected turn of events.
Archie Goodwin really comes into his own here, and we get a deeper glimpse into his private life than we normally would. A thoroughly enjoyable read for Goodwin fans like me.

This is a complex book in which Archie Goodwin (That is the main character and the detective's assistant), is forced to stay in Montana instead of returning to his beloved New York to get a friend charged with murder out of jail. This so annoys Nero Wolfe (Archie's Detective), that he leaves his house for the first time in six years. This book is full of elements of intriuge, mystery, and local politics. It seems short, but it is fairly complecated, and is not your average detective story. It is nearly impossible to figure the murder out without him (Archie) telling you.
March 9, 2010
Its all in the timing but if you've never read a Nero Wolfe book don't start with this one. If you've read 3-4 of them I'd still suggest waiting. There's something about having read most of the books in the series that makes this that much more enjoyable and Stout probably knew it when he wrote it. Where as The Black Mountain involved heavy travel by Wolfe it was much more serious and personal, this is strict whimsy and all the better for it.
March 26, 2014
Sorry to give such a low rating to this Rex Stout mystery, but it didn't deliver like previous efforts. The language wasn't there, nor were Archie's great observations about women (fun), and the mystery was just flat.
May 28, 2025
Each time I read Stout’s books, or reread them, I see something I have missed in the past. Just like the Marx brothers movies. You can’t get it all in one sitting. Wonderful.
