Case of the Vanishing Shells

De: Adventures of Nero Wolfe

Narrado por: uncredited

This episode of the Adventures of Nero Wolfe first aired on February 2, 1951.

Nero Wolfe, featured in 46 novels, movies, and television series, first came to radio on April 7, 1943. The great character actor Sydney Greenstreet played him from 1950-51. Wolfe, the "gargantuan gourmet", solved crimes with an attention to detail that rivaled the great Sherlock Holmes. The overweight detective of Rex Stout's novels refused to leave his elegant brownstone on business, sending his wisecracking, two-fisted assistant, Archie Goodwin, out to do his legwork. This peculiar private investigator preferred tending to his beloved orchids over solving crimes. In fact, the only reason he worked at all was to keep up his lavish lifestyle.

Detection at its Best

While listening you can actually feel some of what Rex Stout was trying to get across. Love Nero and Archie. I think you will enjoy if you like the Rex Stout Characters.

Shells, not from the ocean

Not being used to a chuckling Nero, and one who leaves his home I miss the other Nero Wolfe. These are also short stories, good but too short. I guess I prefer The books better.

ok..but i figured it out..too easy.

not very good except Archie part. it was too easy to figure out.. .so I didn't care for it.
