Finding myself without an audiobook to listen to while I did dishes, I turned to recent purchases from our library book sale. Hooray! I found a Nero Wolf book I had forgotten I'd purchased. This one was not read by Michael Pritchard, who is my favorite reader of these books, but it was still very good. Nero is hired by a woman to get J. Edgar Hoover's FBI men to leave her alone. Her crime is that she bought many copies of a book called The FBI Nobody Knows and distributing them to people she thought should read it. Wolf's ego can't turn the job down and the massive payment check piques his interest, as well. It turns out that he may be able to accomplish the job for his client and solve a murder in the process. Only a genius like Wolf would be able to bully the FBI into doing as he wished, but he couldn't be the effective genius he is without wise-cracking Archie Goodwin doing all the legwork. As always, an enjoyable book from the Nero Wolf series!
