Author Information for Rex Stout

There is just NO way to review each of these books individually. Rex Stout wrote for over 40 years. Suffice it to say that Rex Stout [for me] is right up there with Erle Stanley Gardner, but instead of Perry Mason's Della Street, Nero Wolfe has his Archie Goodwin [personal secretary and assistant]. Since Wolfe RARELY leaves his home and his orchids, it is Goodwin's job to round up the clues, the suspects, and Inspector Cramer to arrest the perpetrator. At several hundred pounds, Wolf is a true "arm-chair detective", who hates to work, but enjoys the money he earns. These are classics in the world of mystery writers.

Robert Goldsborough took over the series after Rex Stout's death, and continued in Stout's style. The entire series is timeless, and they are worth watching for in used book stores, if you can't find them on a shelf!
