The Rubber Band
by Rex Stout
Published in 1936, this is the third of the Nero Wolfe novels by Rex Stout and already the relationships existing among the characters living under Nero Wolfe's roof are evident. The passive-aggressive, snarky relationship that binds Nero Wolfe and his assistant, Archie Goodwin, makes me smile on the bluest of days. In this outing, a former client wants to hire Wolfe to prove that Clara Fox, one of his employees, is innocent of stealing $30,000. Later that same day, Clara Fox arrives wanting to hire Wolfe for an entirely different reason. Before it's over, Wolfe solves both mysteries without setting foot out of his Brownstone or deviating from his strictly set daily schedule. I love these books.
