Welcome to Litsy!

Despite a few snarky remarks about women, I liked this one. It‘s my first time reading a Nero Wolfe mystery, so I was not quite prepared for the man himself and his gruff manner. Told from the perspective of his assistant, Goodwin, Wolfe has to sort out a puzzle connected to a death.

I‘d consider reading another in the series! #192025 #1955

The plot was so-so and the pace was quite slow, but overall, I enjoyed this mystery, the first I've read from this author. I liked the main characters and would be happy to read more in this series. I also enjoyed all the Sherlock Holmes references.

Centered around a group of anthropologists, it‘s students and their friends and family. This is the same snarky Pym that I met in “Excellent Women” and I loved it.

The two sisters competing over who is the most religious was just too much.

📚 finishing King Lear today for #shakespearereadalong
📚 finished November Road for #BOTMBuddyRead - I had a hard time getting into the story at first, but then I liked it. I think the ending was a bit far-fetched, but I still liked it. 👍
📚 finished Lilli de Jong for #LilliRead - great book! 👍👍

This wasn't one of my favorite 007 stories, but I do love James Bond, so it was still a pick. #ReadingThroughTheYears192021 #1955
