"Deadly manuscript" Rex Stout
Like Chandler. I like Rex Stout. These two classics of crime literature makes calmly I can keep track of their shares novels, in fact, and so I am sure that no murderer has escaped justice. Someone will say "boredom" - consent. But whether in the classics is not the point to decode a word, text, in this particular case also solution puzzles? I buy it. For me this a few moments of pure entertainment. Someone could also add a perceptive - "if so why not a classic Christie?" and that's because in a world created by these men there is no place for ladies and gentlemen. Too much whiskey, too many cigars. Give the old man Poirot and Miss Marple calmly drink a cup of tea.
"Deadly manuscript is another volume of adventures detective Nero Wolfe. As in all detective novels of this type has certain characteristics. In the case of Nero Wolf is a monstrous obesity and paranoid reluctance to leave their own home. Outside the world it creates anxiety, fear fills and above all do not care. Of course, beyond the facts about crime. Weirdo - which is the same as he loves food, good alcohol, hybrid, with equal passion, he hates women. Its opposite is Archie Goodwin. young handsome, active, assistant to Wolf, who has a weakness for beautiful girls and tuning of the jokes from the employer. Niebagatelnemu this duo again ( "Deadly ..." is part of the adventures of my master in 1919) was faced with a very mysterious murder. Leonard Dykes - employee law firm, dies under mysterious circumstances. The body of a man who had no enemies, big money is found on the riverbank. Six weeks later, in a road accident death of a young bear editor. Two puzzling crimes, which combines a manuscript, the false name of the author. Machina moves, the action picks up pace. All this in a remarkable, charismatic New York of the fifties of last century, in an atmosphere of noir. As much as I want to say "This is a buddy you know about the real crimes" or "Show me your gun and I'll tell you who you are" . I invite you to play!
