There are few people Nero Wolfe respects, and Lon Cohen of the New York Gazette is one of them. So when Cohen asks for a favor, Wolfe is inclined to listen. According to Cohen, someone wants to kill the Gazette's gossip columnist, Cameron Clay. Death threats are a regular hazard for Clay, who's hurled insults and accusations at every bold-faced name in the five boroughs. But the latest threats have carried a more sinister tone. The columnist has narrowed his potential killers down to five people.

Lousy Narration
Revisado: 01-24-18
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I have listened to all of the Rex Stout Nero Wolfe books available on audible and all of the rest of the Robert Goldsborough books. I wanted to listen to this one to complete the set. I endured the lousy narration to do this. The story isn't Stout but like the rest it is pretty good, at least worth listening to.
What did you like best about this story?
This book has a very unique ending from all of the other Nero Wolfe stories that I have listened to.
How could the performance have been better?
A totally different narrator is needed. At least five different voices were used for Archie Goodwin, the predominant one being effeminate. At one point in the narration the voice used for Archie was the same one used for a female opera prima donna in the previous scene. It sounds like the narrator was trying to do Sydney Greenstreet for Nero Wolfe.
Do you think Stop the Presses! needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
This is just another book in the series. if another one was written and recorded I would listen to it but another isn't required.
