Laddar... PM för en VDav Rex Stout
![]() 2015 UpROOTed (14) Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. ![]() This is kind of a weird one. It's such a late book in the series (first published in 1973) that the attempts to make it contemporary feel very strange - I mean, Stout was around 80 years old at this point, but he's still writing an Archie in his 30s, or maybe early 40s, and it just doesn't jibe as well as it did in the earlier books. The mystery itself is a good one, though. A bomb in an office desk explodes, but who is the intended target? Meals in Nero Wolfe's house play a prominent role, but Robert Parker's Spencer books are more appetizing. As another reviewer noted, the book was not as much fun as it should have been. And there is no discussion of the fact that one of the characters decides that the best way for her husband to become the new head of the company is by lacing his rival's whiskey with LSD. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

A bomb explodes in the desk drawer of a top TV executive. But was the death trap intended for him or for the man who opened the drawer? Each man had a host of enemies, so was it the ambitious business partner, the jealous wife, the office secretary, or the man with blood on his hands? Nero Wolfe finds himself up to his corpulent neck as he and Archie Goodwin sort their way through secrets, over-the-top ambition, and a long list of suspects to find the truth and the guilty party.
