Crazeedi @EadieB @andrew65 I read every Nero Wolfe book when I had my back surgery and was down for 3 plus months. My daughter had every one and she loaned them to me. They were hilarious and wonderful. And that is one series I will reread. And I almost never reread. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I have some of his books but haven‘t read them yet. I do own this one and will be reading it![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Her Forbidden KnightEadieB @Crazeedi That‘s good to know! 5y
Crazeedi @EadieB oh they are so worth reading, nero is agoraphobic and so his sidekick archie does the work, and nero plays with his orchids and solves the crimes. The personalities of his characters are just superbly done 5y
EadieB @Crazeedi Looking forward to reading him! Thanks! 5y
