Product Details

Product Description

The New Yorker

"Nero Wolfe, the fat detective of Rex Stout's novels, towers over his rivals... he is an exceptional character creation." --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Walter Mosley

"Rex Stout, through the voice of Archie telling us about his world (a full third of which was occupied by Nero Wolfe), raised detective fiction to the level of art with these books. He gave us genius of at least two kinds, and a strong realist voice that was shot through with hope." --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Archie in his favorite element, Jun 18 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Too Many Women (Audio Cassette)
An employee of a very large corporation dies in a hit-and-run accident. Rumors abound that it was murder, disrupting morale. Nero and Archie are hired to either scotch the rumors or find the truth re: the mysterious death. These circumstances put Archie smack dab in the middle of hundreds of young working women -- many of them suspects, most of them of interest to Archie on other levels. This case gives him a chance to put many steak and wine dinners and many evenings of dancing on the old expense account, while he is in search of clues in this particularly confounding case. Neither the police nor Wolfe have much luck solving it for the longest time, and even Archie is frustrated by their lack of success (if not by the scenery he encounters along the way). This is very much Archie's story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I figured out the mystery myself rather early on -- something I'm proud of, since that seldom happens to me in Wolfe stories. Still, I had a wonderful time with this book, and especially got a kick of Wolfe's snorting dismissals of Archie more personal interest in the ladies. I also enjoyed reading about women in the workplace in those long ago days. How times have changed! All the women seemed to be in administrative positions. If they wanted power within the corporation, they got it through working for progressively more powerful men -- or in the case of Mrs. Pine, installing her husband on the board of directors. In that regard, this was a bit like unearthing a time capsule.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wolfe steps back, Aug 3 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Too Many Women (Audio Cassette)
Every Wolfe book is really about Archie Goodwin, but this is especially true of Too Many Women. For the first time, he is given the role of sex magnet. Although the plot is only so-so, the result is one of the more entertaining and humorous Wolfes.
