Laddar... Fade to Blackav Robert Goldsborough
![]() Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. ![]() Nero Wolfe and his legman Archie Goodwin are drawn into a fictionalized "cola wars" battle, as one maker of cherry soda accuses another of stealing its advertising campaign ideas. The plot thickens when one of the admen turns up dead. I always enjoy spending time with Archie but Goldsborough isn't Rex Stout, the genius who birthed these characters, and his dialogue is always just a bit off and grating to my ears. Still, it's better than nothing. And considering the last Stout novel was published in 1975, it's mildly amusing to read about how life in the brownstone is altered (or not, as the case may be) by modern technology. Not really recommended for anyone except extreme Wolfe/Archie fans who have read all the originals and need more, even if it's lesser. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
A soda war explodes into murder for Nero Wolfe, "one of the two or three most beloved detectives in fiction" (Publishers Weekly). For the men of Madison Avenue, the battle between soft-drink giants Cherr-o-key and AmeriCherry seems heaven sent. For years now, the firm of Mills/Lake/Ryman has fought to help Cherr-o-key become the nation's favorite fizzy cherry soda, but each time they come up with a new slogan, mascot, or jingle, AmeriCherry somehow beats them to it. There's a mole inside the agency, and only Nero Wolfe can ferret him out. Although he's as round as a cherry himself, Wolfe has no taste for soft drinks. But the question of industrial espionage is too sweet for him to resist, and so with assistant Archie Goodwin at his side, he sets out to end this vicious corporate feud. Only when the first adman dies does he realize that a marketing war can be just as dangerous as the real thing. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
