About this listen
Iconic sleuth Nero Wolfe returns to track down the murderer of a New York Symphony Orchestra conductor in this Nero Award-winning mystery.
Ever since disgraced associate Orrie Cather’s suicide, armchair detective Nero Wolfe has relished retirement in his Manhattan brownstone on West 35th Street. Two years after Cather’s death, only a visit from Maria Radovich - and the urging of Wolfe’s prize assistant, Archie Goodwin - could draw the eccentric and reclusive genius back into business. Maria’s uncle, New York Symphony Orchestra conductor Milan Stevens, formerly known as Milos Stefanovic, spent his youth alongside Wolfe as a fellow freedom fighter in the mountains of Montenegro. And now that the maestro has been receiving death threats, Wolfe can’t turn his back on the compatriot who once saved his life.
Though her uncle has dismissed the menacing letters, Maria fears they’re more than the work of a harmless crank. But before Wolfe can attack the case, Stevens is murdered. The accused is the orchestra’s lead violinist, whose intimate relationship with Maria hit more than a few sour notes in her uncle’s professional circle. But Wolfe knows that when it comes to murder, nothing is so simple - especially when there are so many suspects, from newspaper critics and ex-lovers to an assortment of shady musicians.
Now, in this award-winning novel that carries on the great tradition of Rex Stout, the irascible and immovable Nero Wolfe is back in the game, listening for clues and ready to go to war to find a killer.

I am a sucker for a Neo Wolfe Mystery
Pretty good job of keeping to the characters even though they have been done and done and done.... I like to keep the earlier era in which Rex Stout dressed the stories, language, style.

Enjoyable Story
I'm not sure it was quite the same as the old Nero Wolfe, but it was good enough. I found myself continually thinking how absolutely American the narrator was, and then reminding myself that it is set in America. I found it distracting. I like my audio books to have more muted accents. His reading was fine. This book is currently free through audible and I'm happy to keep listening to other books in the series given that.

Good ride
Nero Wolfe isn't a sleuth I care for but it was impressive how well the author recreated Nero Wolfe to be so much like the original. The story is engaging and a good twist at the end.
