About the Book
In 1934, Rex Stout created Nero Wolfe, one the memorable and most popular detectives of mystery fiction. By background a businessman, Rex Stout started publishing short stories in his twenties and published the first of his 46 Nero Wolfe books as he was nearing 50 years old.
Nero Wolfe, the 286 pound beer consuming marvel, who wears yellow silk pajamas, loves orchids and rarely leaves home has been a popular character for seventy years in Rex Stout’s books, films and recently a successful television series. His sidekick Archie Goodwin helps prod Wolfe into action.
Rex Stout was widely honored for his body of work, including the prestigious Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers Association.
In And Four to Go,Nero Wolfe and his assistant, Archie Goodwin, star in four gems of short fiction. In "The Christmas Party" Archie and his fiancee attend an office party where Wolfe condescends to uncharacteristic theatrics. His dramatic technique is good, but it isn´t enough to clear him from suspicion of murder. The "Easter Parade" tempts Wolfe to commit petty larceny for an orchid. Though that crime goes unpunished, the inevitable murder doesn´t. "A Fourth of July Picnic" has Wolfe scheduled for an unprecedented appearance as orator. But his day in the sun is rained out -- by murder. The last selection, "Murder Is No Joke" is a whodunit in a couturier´s salon, where a murderer is dressed to kill -- and kill again.
