Title: Sad deviation for Nero Wolfe
Review: Proof that even the best writers don't write winners every time. I have read all of the Rex Stout works that remain in print, and this was the first time that I had to force myself to complete one. As was noted in another review, this seemed to be an experiment that didn't quite work. Kind of like a great French chef trying his hand at a complex Indian curry or Mexican mole. Mr. Stout was best when he stuck with his tried and true voice and characters, Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin.
Is the review positive or negative?
