"Another Successful Nero Wolfe Novel" according to Amazon Customer. I have read nearly all the Rex Stout Nero Wolfe mysteries. He is an excellent writer. I own this book in hard copy as well, and have read it several times. This is efficient as there are two excellent books in one. I recommend it highly.. "YUM YUM" according to Reginald Jones. The beginning is very tiresome and tedious - unless you are a gourmand. Hence four stars. But the rest of the book is very well done with neat plot twists. I am now addicted to Nero and Archie - we are on a first name basis. :):):)
