I've very much enjoyed both of the previous Julius Katz/Archie books. I picked up one when it was on sale at Amazon, and had so much fun reading it that I just had to get the other one too. The first one contains a novella and a short story, and the second one is is a full length novel. These are definitely pastiches of Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin, but very well done, and well worth reading if you like the Wolfe/Goodwin stories. I'm not so sure how they'd read as independent stories if you haven't read at least a few Wolfe/Goodwin books. I think they might still be pretty cute stories, but some of the humor might not work.
Has anyone read any of Zeltserman's darker stories - which seem to be pretty much everything else he's written? I enjoyed the Katz stories so much I'd like to read more of his writing, but I'm not really into dark/noir/thriller. I guess I'll get to read a couple of the darker stories included in this freebie (thanks, NB), but curious if anyone has any opinion of any of his longer, darker books.
