Title: Wolfe out of his depth
Review: This is the second Wolfe, and Stout is supposed to have considered it his best. I can't agree. Although Chapin is certainly a deeper character study than these books normally attempt, the psychology is unconvincing. The pure mystery part of the plot is very weak. An interesting curiousity for fans, but out-of-step with the core appeal of the series.
