Summary

There are few people Nero Wolfe respects, and Lon Cohen of the New York Gazette is one of them. So when Cohen asks for a favor, Wolfe is inclined to listen.

According to Cohen, someone wants to kill the Gazette's gossip columnist, Cameron Clay. Death threats are a regular hazard for Clay, who's hurled insults and accusations at every bold-faced name in the five boroughs. But the latest threats have carried a more sinister tone. The columnist has narrowed his potential killers down to five people.

When Clay turns up dead, the cops deem it a suicide. The bigwigs at the Gazette don't agree, so they retain Wolfe to figure out which of the suspects had the mettle to pull the trigger.

Awful narration (P.Berkrot instead of L.J. Ganser)

Love the series but not going to finish this one: terrible narration.

I had no idea how much L. J. Ganser's narration is part of the enjoyment of the series. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to replace Ganser by Berkrot ... well, never mind.

Can't even give a fitting number of stars for the story, because I was so distracted by the awful narration.

Pity!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
