Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 41
It's 1978. Nero Wolfe, New York's 300-pound epicurean genius detective, has been dead for two years, leaving Archie holding the brownstone. In a post-Wolfe dystopia with a sense of humor, Archie, Saul, Fritz, and Cramer find themselves in the crosshairs of a worldwide criminal cartel. In America, it's a time of change: Vietnam, Watergate, free love, smallpox, the reserve clause, and cheap oil are all history. Aided and abetted by Roy Cohn, Richard Wragg, Dorothy Bruce, the Army, FBI, CIA, and the Dutch police, will Saul and Archie live up to Wolfe's legacy?

I have listened to all available Nero Wolfe audiobooks by Rex Stout and Robert Goldsbourogh and am working through the radio episodes w Sidney Greenstreet
The initial part of the book for me is understandable but was a bit tedious for me. This detracted from the final entry into the final “mystery”
This resolution seemed very rushed and lacking in the normal detail.
Lots of loose ends. I am hoping that the author has set the new stage so that in follow up novels we can see how these loose ends and the more tradition crime solving focus can return given the new landscape Hopeful?

When wealthy and popular crusader and reformer Lester Pierce is gunned down in front of his Park Avenue residence, the public outcry forces the NYPD to restructure its homicide department. As the deceased was highly critical of Inspector Lionel Cramer, the longtime head of homicide is temporarily relieved of his badge. But it seems Cramer was not just a scapegoat. He was seen dining in Little Italy with mob kingpin Ralph Mars. If Cramer's provisional replacement, Captain George Rowcliff, becomes permanent, PI Nero Wolfe's future dealings with the force will be much compromised.

There's nothing like murder to spoil a good meal. That's what Archie Goodwin, the able assistant to Nero Wolfe, discovers at a lavish dinner party hosted by a billionaire. It was a casual evening among gorgeous society girls, until champagne became a murder weapon.

I am listening to as many NW books as possible and am running out fast. I am totally hooked. This was the best so far. I especially thought the final process for resolution really really showed the nuances of NW’s approach and person. Good balance between NW and Archie. Even Sol had more depth. I can’t wait to find another I have not listened to.
