5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Stuff!,
By Richard Salva "Host: 'LincolnReincarnation.co... (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Might As Well Be Dead (Nero Wolfe Mysteries) (Paperback)
Rex Stout was an amazing writer. His characters are great. The dialogue and action are crisp. And, where did he get the ideas for his stories? Some of the plotlines really draw you in. Take this book, one of Stout's best. In Might As Well Be Dead, the great detective Nero Wolfe is asked to locate a young man missing for over a decade--who turns out to have just been convicted of murder. Wolfe has to put his considerable mental prowess to work to overturn the conviction, along with his helpers--the irrepressible Archie Goodwin, and Saul, Fred, Orrie, and Jimmy. One of Wolfe's colleagues doesn't make it to the end of the story, which makes it personal for Wolfe. The cops are breathing down their necks. And, just to add to the mix, Archie falls in love with the attractive woman pining for the man on death row. Great stuff!

Kindle Version Review,
By The Weary Professor (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Might As Well Be Dead (Nero Wolfe Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
This is prime 1950s-era Nero Wolfe and well worth a read. Not only is Stout's writing here vital and pithy, but the plot takes some memorable twists and Nero has to adjust his strategy accordingly. There are some great Archie/Nero character moments and some nice use of the Saul Panzer-led squad of hired investigators. The Kindle version is well-formatted, but note the cover is missing and the publishing date, ISBN, etc., appears at the end of the text instead of the beginning.

Exemplary Nero Wolfe mystery,

This review is from: Might As Well Be Dead (Nero Wolfe Mysteries) (Paperback)
A murder conviction; a missing person; a beautiful woman; even a distraught family - but Nero Wolfe puts the pieces together and again solves the mystery puzzle. One of Rex Stout's most complicated and satisfying Nero Wolfe mysteries.
