Entertaining,
This review is from: The Second Confession (Mass Market Paperback)
I don't understand the reviewers who complain about loose ends. Do you normally expect the second book in a trilogy to wrap everything up? I'm guessing that those reviewers didn't realize that Zeck appears in three books (And Be a Villain, The Second Confession, and In the Best of Families, in that order). At any rate, any ends left loose in this book are tied up in the third.But even if you know and care nothing about Zeck, you should still be able to enjoy this books; he does not dominate it. Wolfe and Archie are both in top form, and the ploy Wolfe uses to expose the murder is both enjoyable and clever.

Saul vs Michael,
This review is from: The Second Confession (Audio Cassette)
I have listened to several Nero Wolfe books now and enjoyed them immensely as read by Saul Rubinek but I purchased the unabridged version of Second Confession and it is read by Michael Pritchard who while he enunciates very clearly lacks emotion. He ruined Archie Goodwin for me and the funny lines that are usually Archie's were wasted. Just my humble opinion.

Nero Wolfe Fights Communism,
By
This review is from: The Second Confession (Mass Market Paperback)
Published in 1949, "The Second Confession", by Rex Stout, once again finds our intrepid hero and his sidekick, Archie Goodwin, wending their way through the wiles and deceptions of a wealthy family (and hangers-on) to ferret out the identity of a murderer. Interestingly enough, this book includes a mysterious Mr. X, who turns out to be Wolfe's Moriarty, and a more menacing character I haven't seen in this series - and the character only shows up in the form of a few telephone calls in this book! Also interesting is the fact that the plot and its resolution hinges on uncovering a card-carrying member of the American Communist Party - at that time, the Cold War was in full swing, and the American public had a massive fear of Communists hidden in their midst, determined to undermine the American Way of Life. That Archie has a complete contempt for Communists doesn't surprise me; that Wolfe does as well, does. Another good entry into this long-running series, and as always, recommended!
