Crazeedi @EadieB @andrew65 I read every Nero Wolfe book when I had my back surgery and was down for 3 plus months. My daughter had every one and she loaned them to me. They were hilarious and wonderful. And that is one series I will reread. And I almost never reread. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I have some of his books but haven‘t read them yet. I do own this one and will be reading it 6y
EadieB @Crazeedi That‘s good to know! 6y
Crazeedi @EadieB oh they are so worth reading, nero is agoraphobic and so his sidekick archie does the work, and nero plays with his orchids and solves the crimes. The personalities of his characters are just superbly done 6y
EadieB @Crazeedi Looking forward to reading him! Thanks! 6y
Mollyanna I love Nero Wolfe! Is this pre-Nero? I‘ll have to check it out. 6y
EadieB @Mollyanna yes it is his first book written in 1913 and the Nero books were written in the 30‘s. 6y
Mollyanna Very exciting! Thanks for sharing. 6y

Trent's Last Case | E. C. Bentley
post image

#centuryofmysterychallenge #1913 #ecbentley

An American capitalist is found dead in the garden of his English country house, 2 immediate matters confound detective Philip Trent: why is the dead man not wearing his false teeth and why is his young widow seemingly relieved at his death? The newly widowed Mabel Manderson, ‘The Lady in Black‘, has a disarming effect on the imaginative Trent, in this classic detective story that twists and turns.

Andrew65 Another author I‘ve not heard of. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I never heard of him either until I researched mystery writers. #trentslastcase (edited) 6y
