Overview

As any herpetologist will tell you, the fer-de-lance is among the most dreaded snakes known to man.When someone makes a present of one to Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin knows he's getting dreadully close to solving the devilishly clever murders of an immigrant and a college president.As for Wolfe, he's playing snake charmer in a case with more twists than an anaconda -- whistling a seductive tune he hopes will catch a killer who's still got poison in his heart."

  • First in a classic mystery series.

    Frances C. - 5 years 7 months ago

    This mystery is the first of the "Nero Wolfe" series; it really should be called the "Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin" series. The charm of the book is in the good writing, in the clever mysteries that rely on both armchair deduction and on-the-spot investigation. The interplay between the immobile genius Wolfe, who never leaves the house on business, and his assistant Goodwin, who handles the legwork and any action, makes the book satisfying for readers who enjoy either, and even more so for those who like both. The series gets even better, but the first book is the best place to start; if you like this there are dozens more waiting for you.
