About this listen

Nero Wolfe earns a big league call-up after a senator gets taken out at the ball game.

Archie Goodwin and detective Saul Panzer have ventured into the wilds of northern Manhattan to watch the Giants take on the Dodgers at the Polo Grounds. The national anthem is just winding down when Panzer spies a notable in the box seats: State Senator Orson Milbank, a silver-haired scoundrel with enemies in every corner of upstate New York. In the fourth inning, a monstrous line drive brings every fan in the grandstand to his feet - every fan save for one silver-haired senator, who has been shot dead by a sniper in the upper deck.

Archie’s employer - the rotund genius Nero Wolfe - has no interest in investigating the stadium slaying, but Archie is swayed by the senator’s suspiciously lovely widow. Her husband was mired hip-deep in corruption, and sorting out who killed him will be a task far less pleasant than an afternoon at the ball park.

Another Great Book

I love this series of books they are so entertaining.
LJ Ganser is excellent at narrating them . A lot of enjoyment from books is down to the narration and Gainsborough and Ganser have a perfect match !
As soon as I finish one book I can’t wait to listen to the next. Although I didn’t want to rush through them too quickly! I will have the pleasure of listening to the whole series a second time as they are good 😊

Engaging

Other than the narrator’s nasal voice, everything else about this novel is fun & a good puzzle.
