Rex Stout at his Best!

Three excellent Nero Wolfe mysteries. Each, in my opinion among Stout's best. Michael Prichard, per his usual, bring life to each character.

Excellence times three

What a treat to discover three short stories new to me. I started reading Rex Stout more than 50 years ago. No one does it better than Mr Stout. These three mysteries are the usual finely crafted stories. Michael Pritchard is a superb narrator.

Excellent collection of theree short stories.

I always enjoy the style and wit of Rex Stout. One of the three stories was from a previous collection but I loved hearing it again. These characters grow on you through the series.

classic Wolfe

Michael Pritchard never fails to deliver the goods...of course he's reading Rex Stout's words.!!

Another 3-in-1 Excellently Read

Another great set of "Tasty snacks", read by Michael Prichard. Interestingly, two of the stories in this collection, have alternative versions in other collections. The second story is the version I like best . The third story, I actually like the other version which appears in another volume better.

Both stories have alternative versions of a main female character. Both of these significantly change the story, as well as Archie's motivation (which obviously also changes Wolf's motivation).

Still, having read and listened to this collection many multiple times, it still holds up for me. Not my favorite, but certainly as good as most of the ones that aren't – which is saying something.

Enjoyable, but not Classic Wolfe

One unpublished story, and two different versions of stories already published. They're not the best Wolfe tales, but they're still pretty enjoyable. Best is Assault on a Brownstone. Michael Pritchard does a good job with these narrations, although he really doesn't do a lot of different voices.

another fun read from Rex Stout

3 books short, but very entertaining. At least one of these is a duplicate that can be obtained elsewhere. Be forewarned.
