A review by judyward
Murder by the Book by Rex Stout

3.0

This book was published in 1951 and it is the 19th book in the Nero Wolfe series. While I often find this series to be a bit uneven, I have to admit that this particular book kept me guessing up until the very end. Two seemingly unrelated events come to Nero Wolfe's attention. First, Inspector Cramer shows up at Wolfe's office with a list of names found at the residence of a murdered man wanting to know if any of the names seems familiar to Wolfe. And then a wealthy businessman from the Midwest wants to hire Wolfe to discover who murdered his only daughter in an apparent hit-and-run. Leave it to Nero Wolfe to uncover the links between the two events and unmask the killer.
