I just listened to this one again and I think everything I said before still holds true. This is the first book in the Nero Wolfe series. It's a great introduction to the characters and is a really spectacular mystery, too. We get to meet Wolfe, Archie and Fritz, not to mention Saul, Orrie and Fred in one of the most confusing mysteries Wolfe ever had to tackle. When a young woman hires Wolfe to find her brother, no one can see the connection between the death of this "nobody" and the death of a major player on the social scene. No one, except Wolfe, of course. I'm not going to give anything away in this one, the twists and turns are too good to miss. Archie's voice was already well-tuned, even though this was the first ride with him and Wolfe.
This is read by Michael Prichard (who would want to listen to Nero Wolfe books read by anyone else?) and is a really great story.
