New Nero Wolfe Book
Archie Meets Nero Wolfe: A Prequel to Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe Mysteries by Robert Goldsborough.
He has done a decent job with others I hope this one is as good since I bought it. http://www.amazon.com/Archie-Meets-N.../dp/1453270973 Apache |

Thanks for that. Strangely enough I was just wondering a day or so ago if and why Robert Goldsborough had stopped writing

He hasn't stopped writing. he has his own series of books along with the Nero Wolfe Books. He wrote Nero Wolfe books from 196 through 1993.

Interesting, though one review points out a lot of mistakes the author made in the Nero Wolfe canon.

Yes, but then Rex Stout probably did too. I find Goldsborough less successful at Nero and Archie than I would hope, but still worth the read.

Yup, I enjoyed it too. And I even went and bought several of his earlier Nero Wolfe books to read. I probably read at least a couple of them 20 years or more ago, but I certainly don't remember them. And meanwhile, I have all the Rex Stout Nero Wolfe books here as well, been working through them when I want something quick and fun.

I also have all of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe Books. And I too bought and read Robert Goldborough's early Nero Wolfe Books. They are all available as ebooks and I am going to buy all seven of them. They are cheaper on Amazon than on B&N.
