Black Orchids
Black Orchids | Rex Stout
19 posts | 9 read | 3 to read
Not much can get Wolfe to leave his comfortable brownstone, but the showing of a rare black orchid lures him to a flower show. Unfortunately, the much-anticipated event is soon overshadowed by a murder as daring as it is sudden. Its a case of weeding out a cunning killer who can turn up anywhereand Wolfe must do it quickly. Because a second case awaits his urgent attention: a society widow on a mailing list of poison-pen letters leading to a plot as dark as any orchid Wolfe has ever encountered.

“that ten cent Clark Gable that thinks he‘s so slick he can slide uphill.” Is just a beautiful insult.

Wow, how did it get to be December all ready? December 1st ,1886 Rex Stout was born. Found this one at a library sale a couple weeks ago, I have read him and I‘m trying to figure out which ones...🤷‍♀️

@Read4life Is this the next book in our #whodunitbymail rotation? Just trying to figure out where we are.

Read4life @Marmie7 I sent you 2 books late last week. Rumor of Bones and 1 other. I‘m not at home to look up which one. If you haven‘t received Black Orchids yet, it is that one. 6y

I‘m so sad I couldn‘t get into this book. I liked that it was set in the 40‘s but despite that I just couldn‘t get into the story or characters. I tried to but I‘d find myself thinking of other things and other books. But I‘m glad I got introduced to this author who I wouldn‘t have ever tried.

I‘m a early bird. My body refuses to sleep past 6 am even on the weekends. Luckily that gives me time to read before the husband gets up.

Finally diving into my #whodunitbymail! I need to finish it to send it off to @Jess7 and what better to pair with a mystery than a #candleandblanket! #octoberlibrary17

melrailey I love Rex Stout. It must be a decade since I read one. Maybe I should alternate those with Christie and Wodehouse. 7y
Dragon I love his second banana Archie Goodwin 💕 7y

When you wander into the Salvation Army and everything in the store is 50% off. New mysteries I've never heard of, Onward which has been on my list, and some other, ahem, timely reads...#bookhaul #usedbooks #mysteries
