Product Description

From AudioFile

While listening to this with me, my daughter asked why I thought the particular reader had been selected, and, without thinking, I said: "Because he has a fat voice." That about sums up Michael Prichard's presentation of Nero Wolfe, the obese detective and gourmand who raises orchids and hates to leave his brownstone. Prichard isn't so good with the other characters, although he does vary the pitch of his voice to distinguish them. Essentially this is an uncomplicated reading of a good detective book. The story has to do with the struggles of a mistress and family over the legacy of a murdered man. D.R.W. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

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.

4.0�toiles sur 5 For Wolfe Junkies, Nov. 25 2002

Par	Stephen McLin (Lafayette, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Where There's a Will (Audio Cassette)

If you have read three or four Nero Wolfe books, and liked them, you will like this book. What's not to like about three sisters named April, May and June?
This is somewhat of an "inside baseball" of Wolfe -- lots of characters, constant action. Not a long book, but alot of content.
Wolfe leaves his home, which is always an interesting twist, given how much he hates it.
Wold almost gets arrested and taken to Police HQ. He dictates a letter before he is to be taken, and staves it off. The letter is vintage Rex Stout.

Par	George Rickerson (Columbia, MO USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Where There's a Will (Audio Cassette)

While this is not the best Nero Wolfe story, and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone's first dip into the Stout corpus, it is still Nero Wolfe and as such is a must for fans of the genre.

This review is from: Where There's a Will (Audio Cassette)

I agree with the previous reviewer (except I don't like Over My Dead Body either). Where There's a Will is the worst Wolfe novel (some of the short stories are also terrible). It's turgid stuff and I'd hate it to be anyone's first and last encounter with Wolfe.
