À propos de cet audio

A soda war explodes into murder for Nero Wolfe, “one of the two or three most beloved detectives in fiction” (Publishers Weekly).

For the men of Madison Avenue, the battle between soft-drink giants Cherr-o-key and AmeriCherry seems heaven-sent. For years now, the firm of Mills/Lake/Ryman has fought to help Cherr-o-key become the nation’s favorite fizzy cherry soda, but each time they come up with a new slogan, mascot, or jingle, AmeriCherry somehow beats them to it. There’s a mole inside the agency, and only Nero Wolfe can ferret him out. Although he’s as round as a cherry himself, Wolfe has no taste for soft drinks. But the question of industrial espionage is too sweet for him to resist, and so with assistant Archie Goodwin at his side, he sets out to end this vicious corporate feud. Only when the first adman dies does he realize that a marketing war can be just as dangerous as the real thing.

Meh. It’s not really Nero Wolfe, is it.

Robert Goldsborough may have the permission of Rex Stout’s estate to continue writing in this series, but it just doesn’t meet the standards of Rex Stout’s writing. There is too much implied profanity expressed in Wolfe’s office, which is something he would not have allowed. The author is incapable of reproducing Rex Stout’s descriptions of the dishes served in the brownstone, and none of the secondary characters are well written.

Wolfe is written as a one-dimensional crabby person, and the books cast Archie as the main protagonist and action hero. I had trouble staying focused. To be honest, the only reason I ploughed through this audio book is that I just couldn’t finish the paperback version, and it made an almost adequate listen as I was casting on some knitting projects. The paperback is going into a donations box, and the audiobook was free.
