About this listen

A car accident in upstate New York strands Nero Wolfe, America's largest detective, and Archie Goodwin, his confidential assistant, in the midst of a family feud. The feud, over $45,000 worth of prize bull, turns ugly when the beef in question is found pawing the mangled body of a family scion. Solving the mystery is no problem - but, alas, the evidence keeps disappearing.©1939 Rex Stout (P)1994 Books on Tape Inc. Detective Mystery Private Investigators Suspense Thriller & Suspense Traditional Detectives Fiction

What the critics say

"It's always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." (The New York Times)
"What's not to like about a Nero Wolfe mystery? The mysteries are short, cleverly plotted, well paced, and, if you're an audiobook listener, wonderfully read by Michael Prichard....Prichard has read nearly 20 books in Stout's series and has mastered Wolfe's deep, meditative voice and Archie's spry, chipper voice, as well as those of a host of other characters we recognize from one recording to the next."

If you are going to pick just one Nero Wolfe this one is hard to beat. Got a hankering for a good fricassée.

I couldn't really get into this. I'd read other Rex Stout books before, and this was a typical example (I assume, I did not finish) but I think with a physical copy I simply skipped ahead until it got interesting. This slow starter failed to launch, so to speak, and went back on the shelf.

Not my cup of tea, YMMV
