This review is from: Mountain Cat Murders (Paperback)

Stout really hit his stride with the Nero Wolfe mysteries-- they're head and shoulders above almost anything else in the genre. And they tower above his other work and other detectives (Tecumseh Fox, Dol Bonner, Alphabet Hicks). But some of his other mysteries are well worth reading, and this is one of them. There's no "name detective" this time, just some dogged protagonists out to dig up the truth about murders new and old. "The Mountain Cat Murders" takes place in Cody, Wyoming, and starts slow, but revs up nicely by its midpoint. It's a bit humorless when judged by the Wolfe series, but the mystery is a good one and the payoff is worth the wait. I'd place this toward the top of Stout's non-Nero Wolfe output.
