Over My Dead Body
Over My Dead Body | Rex Stout
1 post | 3 read | 2 to read
When a Balkan beauty gets in trouble over some missing diamonds, whom else can she turn to but the world-famous Nero Wolfe? Especially since she claims to be Wolfe's long lost daughter! The stakes are suddenly raised when a student at this woman's fencing school ends up dead after a pointed lesson. As Wolfe and his sidekick, Archie, thrust and parry into a tangle of documents, identities and international intrigue, another student body turns up, expertly skewered through the heart. Is Wolfe's long lost daughter the black sheep of the family, a hot-blooded mistress of murder?

If someone tells me they love Rex Stout books they instantly become a "sure I'll bail you out of jail" kind of friend. The writing is not as tight as his short story collections, but has much more room for characterization - which is what Stout is best at.
