Archie Goes Home: a Nero Wolfe mystery by Robert Goldsborough
Archie Goodwin, right hand man of legendary detective Nero Wolfe, returns to his hometown in southern Ohio. A phone call from his Aunt Edna, a notorious gossip, informs him that his mother hasn’t been feeling too well lately, and by the way, the town banker was found dead of an apparent suicide. Archie’s mother is just fine, but he decides to visit anyway.
Back home he meets an attractive newspaper reporter who agrees with Aunt Edna. The banker had enemies in town but the police chief isn’t going to investigate further. But Archie is.
Goldsborough has done a fine job of continuing Rex Stout’s classic series. The fifties atmosphere, the wise-cracking Archie, and the idiosyncratic Wolfe combine for a fast-paced mystery sure to entertain.
