5.0 out of 5 stars Exemplary Nero Wolfe mystery, November 10, 2006
By D. Oliphant "bookworm" (Hagerstown, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff!, May 18, 2006
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting better -- much better, August 15, 2006
By Leonharda Walter (St. Paul, MN) - See all my reviews
This is my second Nero Wolfe book, and I'm getting the message. Wolfe's an eccentric; Archie is someone I'd love to meet; the stories carry me along. The denouement in this book is not exactly shocking, but I'm getting into the rhythm of Stout's writing and plan to keep going with more stories until I'm hooked -- or not.
