I think Paul Chapin is one of the most interesting (and best developed) characters in any of the Wolfe books. I can't say more than that without running into possible spoiler territory, but I think your review presents the book very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-44505034707407829632014-03-25T13:08:18.875-04:002014-03-25T13:08:18.875-04:00Bev this is one Nero Wolfe book that, I think, imp...Bev this is one Nero Wolfe book that, I think, improves on re-reading. My first reaction years ago was that I didn't like it much. But I've come to appreciate it more and more as time has passed and I've reread it a couple more times. That thwarted marriage is one for the books - huh?<br /><br />I love audio books but I often have trouble finding the time to sit and just listen since I don't travel much these days. But I find a way. :) I just listen at my computer when I have a moment or two or when I'm working or doing housework. Admittedly though, it's best in a car.
