They're actually UNabridged, if they're the ones I recorded.,
By
This review is from: The Black Mountain (Audio Cassette)
I'm the narrator of all the Nero Wolfe books from Audio Partners which you're listing on your website. I've just noticed that you list my recordings of THE BLACK MOUNTAIN, FER-DE-LANCE, THE GOLDEN SPIDERS, and WHERE THERE'S A WILL as abridged. Please note that these recordings are all actually UNabridged. It may make a difference with potential purchasers. Thanks.

Not a typical murder mystery,

This review is from: The Black Mountain (Mass Market Paperback)
Although on of the least enjoyable Rex Stout books I've read as it wasn't a murder mystery, it was interesting. It took more of a political view point and offered his opinion.

Nero Wolfe Leaves New York!,
By
This review is from: The Black Mountain (Mass Market Paperback)
In "The Black Mountain," perhaps the oddest Nero Wolfe novel by Rex Stout, Wolfe's oldest friend, restauranteur Marko Vukcic is shot dead on the streets of New York City, and Wolfe sets out to discover the murderer. This search takes him not only out of his comfortable brownstone on East 35th Street, but also out of North America and back to his childhood home in Montenegro, at the time of the novel a part of Yugoslavia. There, he and Archie must sort through the numerous political factions and rebel forces in order to identify the culprit and bring him to justice.... This is, as noted, perhaps the most non-canon book in the Nero Wolfe series; who would have imagined that corpulent Nero Wolfe would be capable of scrambling over mountain peaks and squeezing into crevices in single-minded pursuit of justice? The stark mountain setting and the characterization of the state of that part of the world in that time ring true to me, and I enjoyed that aspect of the novel thoroughly. We also learn that Wolfe is fluent in 8 languages, and through the course of the story we find that some of those languages include Serbian, Croat, Albanian, Russian, Italian and English, of course - one wonders what other two languages he speaks! Recommended.
