About this listen
Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin have a lot of boldfaced names on their suspect list when New York’s most hated gossip columnist is murdered.
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, the famously brilliant - and notoriously lazy - detective 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 boldfaced 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: an egomaniacal developer, a disgraced cop, a corrupt councilman, a sleazy lawyer, and his own ex-wife. But when Clay turns up dead, the cops deem it a suicide. The bigwigs at the Gazette don’t agree, so they retain Wolfe and his indefatigable assistant, Archie Goodwin, to figure out which of the suspects had the mettle to pull the trigger.

Stop the presses
I always enjoy Archie and wolf’s banter. But I would have liked a little more action. There was so much verbal by play that it got a little boring in places. All the interviews went over the same information. I had me idea who was responsible for the death. I was really surprised. But it was not a very exciting ending.

Unforgivable
Some of these are a good kill of time. Some of them are a little Poirot-esque. But this was terrible. 70% of this book was cut and pasted from the others. It was so bad that I could have written it. That’s a Terribly low bar.
If you like procedurals of the old school, I encourage you to try some of the early ones but even if this story is free, don’t bother.
