![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Romaan Nero Wolfe´ist A bit different and one of the better Nero Wolfe novels to date. Just a small story gap prevents me from giving it the full five stars. Un nuevo caso para el detective Nero Wolfe. Michale Prichard really brings these great mysteries to life. He is a fabulous narrator. This one had some great twists. My husband and I really enjoyed it. Mrs. Rachel Bruner has hired Nero Wolfe to stop J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI from annoying her. She read a book titled "The FBI Nobody Knows" and was so impressed she bought ten thousand copies and sent them to cabinet members, Superior Court judges, senators, representatives, state legislators, newspaper and magazine publishers and editors, bank and corporation presidents, broadcasters, columnists, district attourneys, police chiefs, educators and more. Now she, her family, friends and business associates are being tailed, having their phones tapped and questioned. Mrs. Bruner wants it to stop! To make her point, she has given Wolfe a check for one hundred thousand dollars and is good for any further expenses that may be incurred. How can Wolfe turn it down? How can Wolfe stop the FBI? Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's assistant, may do the footwork, as usual, but once the FBI knows Wolfe is involved Archie finds himself being tailed, Wolfe's townhouse is being watched and the phones are being tapped. With the possibility of the townhouse being bugged, the only way to have any conversations regarding any investigation is with a radio blaring in an effort to make it hard to hear or records any conversations. Phone calls are made from payphones and Wolfe even leaves the house to meet with someone in regards to the case. Something Wolfe doesn't normally do! When Wolfe learns of an unsolved murder and the theory is that the FBI might have been involved and has let the investigation drop, Wolfe sees a way to look into the FBI activities annoying his client while appearing not to be actually investigating the matter. Wolfe and Archie will solve the murder! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. But then I enjoy Wolfe and Goodwin! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

There's no one or nothing the great detective Nero Wolfe wouldn't take on if the price was right. That's something wealthy society widow Rachel Bruner is counting on when she writes him a check for a whopping hundred grand. The oversize genius and his able assistant Archie Goodwin soon find out why the prize is so generous as they lock horns with the FBI. And these highly trained G-men have a way with threats, tails, and bugs that could give even sedentary sleuth Nero Wolfe a run for his money. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
