Özet

After the heir to a frozen-food fortune gets iced, Nero Wolfe’s right-hand man becomes a suspect: “Goldsborough does a masterly job with the Wolfe legacy” (Booklist).

When Lily Rowan doesn’t laugh at his jokes, Archie Goodwin knows something’s wrong. Her niece Noreen has been running around with Sparky Linville, a club-hopping bad boy who’s the terror of Manhattan nightlife, and the last time she went out with him, Noreen wasn’t herself when she came home. All she would tell her aunt was that she had been assaulted.

Springing into action, Goodwin waits for Linville outside of Morgana’s, a chrome-and-glass palace that sits like a wart on Second Avenue. They nearly come to blows, but Linville’s bodyguard intervenes, and Goodwin retreats to plan his next move. In the morning, Linville is dead, and Goodwin is the chief suspect.

For years he has helped rotund genius Nero Wolfe out of jams, and now it’s time for the master detective to return the favor.

Well read, plot easily followed and culprit a suprise at the end. Very enjoyable listening.

Easy listening.

This is head and shoulders the best in the series thus far. It’s not only well told, but also so very currently on topic!

I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I will say that, it’s the only story thus far where I have myself decided that the victim got his just desserts!

It seems weird to say that this was enjoyable, but certainly, it was an engrossing tale, well narrated by L. J. Ganser and still with pockets of humour.

I’m really interested to know how Nero Wolfe exits the office easily when it is crowded with people? There must be a significant gap between his desk and the seats arranged around it!

This is a 10 Star 🌟 tale!

THIS! By Far The Best!

These books are such good entertainment. Just the thing to curl up and listen to on a chilly autumn night.

Entertaining!

Rex Stout fans will recognize the hand of the master in this excellent Robert Goldsborough continuation of the Nero Wolfe detective series. As noted elsewhere, it's not 100% perfect, and he doesn't get everything exactly right, but so much rings true that small glitches are just that, and only boomers will find them distracting, The Last Coincidence, set somewhere in the late 1970s-early 1980s (post-Watergate, early microcomputers, and the 747 aircraft as the pride of Boeing's fleet), manages to evoke a timeless epoch wherein the brownstone on West 35th Street stands virtually untouched. LJ Ganser's gifted narration nicely captures a refreshing multiplicity of northern US accents and a solid understanding of his text.

If you liked Rex Stout you will appreciate Goldsborough's handling of his characters in this novel. As of late '23 there are 16 more.

A standout entry in a good 'tec series.
