I love revisiting these books. This one is not just an intriguing mystery, but a fun character study, too.
When strong, influential sisters, April, May and June call on Wolfe, he prepares himself for the worst. After all, he does not play well with women. Their main complaint is that their bother's will is bizarre. He left his sisters a piece of fruit each, an oddly small amount to his wife and a whopping $700,000 to his mistress. Something sure doesn't seem right in all of it. The sisters don't care about money, they all have plenty of their own. However, there were some legacies that were promised and it seems unlikely that their brother would have completely ignored them. This was a tricky one that even got Wolfe not only out of his chair, but out of the house! Read by Michael Prichard, it was a treat as always.
