Over My Dead Body by Rex Stout
4.0
I really don't have much to say about Nero Wolfe books. They're good. Clever mysteries with enough you can't get that you need it explained, but a few things you can get and feel smart about (usually about one page before it's revealed). As ever, narrator Archie is a smart and clever wiseacre and Nero Wolfe manages to solve the mystery without leaving the house or disrupting his schedule. Inspector Cramer is a major character in this one and is a pleasant addition with his aggrieved, resigned, yet oddly idealistic attitude.
I skipped a few and jumped to #7 with no apparent loss in quality. They don't have enough continuity that you're lost if you skip ahead. They're not without continuity, though. This one adds the interesting wrinkle of introducing a member of Nero Wolfe's family, a development which will presumably feature in future books.
