   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  Colleen5096 | Oct 29, 2020 |  Rex Stout created crime-solver Nero Wolfe back in a time when crime-solving characters apparently had to be quirky. So Wolfe is a diva, an imperious stay-at-home with a granite-firm daily schedule, unbreakable habits, a Falstaffian appetite, and a tight knit team to do his bidding. In [Death of a Doxy], Wolfe unleashes his team to find and expose the killer of a kept woman. Urgency drives the story, since the prime suspect, the victim's last known visitor, is an occasional colleague. Two parties resist: the family of the adulterer and the family of the adulteress. But Wolfe and his colleagues prevail. weird_O | May 17, 2020 | Pretty good mystery but what really makes me give it 4* instead of 3.5* is Julie Jacquette! I love the way she interacts with Wolfe. (  ) leslie.98 | Feb 26, 2020 | Another great Nero Wolf book. I really enjoy Michael Prichard's narration. A fun read, great play with the language. ( ) njcur | Sep 4, 2018 | A "kept' woman is murdered and one of Wolfe's hirelings is accused. Nice plot, and one used in the Timothy Hutton video versions.

With a rich man footing the bills and a handsome lover on the side, Isabel Kerr seemed to have the perfect setup. Now the well-kept lady is stone-cold dead, and the cops have nabbed a Manhattan private eye who just happens to be an acquaintance of Nero Wolfe. Unable to refuse a friend in need, the great detective deigns to get the gumshoe off the hook. Little does Wolfe realize that in a matter of hours he'll be entertaining a party of fools and lovers connected with the doxy's death, including a mystery blackmailer, a sexy lounge singer, and a cold-blooded lady-killer. Introduction by Sandra West Prowell "It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore."--The New York Times Book Review A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America's greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained--and puzzled--millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.
