Trouble at the Brownstone by Robert Goldsborough

5.0

In a post war New York City, you don't mess with Nero Wolfes family. Trouble at the Brownstone starts with that Theodore Horstman, Wolfes gardner is brutally beaten for no apparent reason. This leads to Archie being sent to investigate, and it seems that a lot of Displaced persons are hanging around a bar and appartment building in Hells Kitchen where Horstman lives. Who are these people and what's up with the longshoremen? The nosing around leads to murder and Goodwin being assaulted, which leads to Nero getting angrier. Inspector Cramer don't know what to think about the situation and Nero summons Saul, Fred, Orrie and even Del Bascomb to help with the mystery. I have been a fan of Rex Stouts work since I was really young and am glad that Robert Goldsborough has taken up the series. I always enjoy a Nero Wolfe story.
