Meh. I am unimpressed by this book. It should have been 200 pages shorter and the title is ill fitting. Plus one of the main characters was unnecessary to the story. I will admit, the mystery lasted until the end and I will watch the show. I will not be recommending it, though.

Went scuba diving ✔️

Came home to my second SK book having been delivered! ✔️

This one is the first one on my list, so I can officially dive in and have bought enough of them to keep going until like spring/summer now since I‘m committed to one SK a month until they‘re all checked off the list!!

Red Wings victory! ✔️

All in all a pretty solid Saturday!

britt_brooke Awesome! (I‘m planning to read these novellas soon myself) 2h

This was far more emotional for me than I was expecting. Even while reading, I knew how the story would end, but once I reached it, it hit me harder than I was prepared for. I have mixed feelings about the book, I did find my mind wandering during the middle section, and the flashback type of storytelling just isn't what I like. However, the ending really made me feel like this story was told the way it needed to be told.

So slow, so boring, and with such a pompous narrator. The indiscriminate killing of animals was too much.

KT1432 Omg I read this a few years ago for the first time and couldn‘t believe how it was considered a classic!! It aged TERRIBLY and the animal killing was ridiculous. That‘s not even a normal trigger for me in books and even I was like why?? 20m

“ yes, fer-de-lance…Except for the bushmaster, it is the most dreaded of all vipers.”(238) Eventually, one such snake does end up in Wolfe‘s drawer, but he & his sidekick, Archie kill it.This first in this series is long & meandering,involving multiple characters & red herrings. Archie narrates the story in first person, which took me awhile to get used to.Up next is The League of Frightened Men,2nd in the series. #SeriesLove2026

IriDas I loved Nero Wolfe when I was a kid. I now live near where Gardner had his office. The building is still there. And it‘s one of the few claims to fame we‘ve got around here. 😂 5h

Silo has mixed feelings about Proust. On the one hand, I'm sitting still. On the other, I'm holding the book, making notes, and taking pictures, so I'm not petting as much as I ought to. (And of course, I'm also posting on Litsy, so I'm not reading as much as I ought to, either.)

Ah, she writes so well, so many included minutae that can be overlooked yet are intrinsic to everyday life.

Im still resetting my reading as I'm discombobulated in what to choose. This was perfect in its short story offerings.
