THE LEAGUE OF FRIGHTENED MEN

The urbane, witty Nero Wolfe series hasn't lost its sparkle. It's New York City in the 1930's, and the victim of a youthful prank is set on revenge. The monstrous man charms us with his armchair solutions; his peevish personality contrasts with his deductive genius. In Rubinek we meet the man in person. Few, if any, could so well portray this fat, somewhat sybaritic detective and inhabit his sidekick, the petulant, but persistant, Archie. It's a joy to become reacquainted with these stories. S.B.S.
