Discuss "The Mother Hunt" a Nero Wolfe Mystery

6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Prosser Library
Community Room

Event Details

What is it about Nero Wolfe, the food-loving and orchid-fancying misogynist, that draws the most attractive, wealthy, and desperate females to his office? Could it possibly be his leg-man, Archie Goodwin? Archie, at least, is in for another reward in this latest of Nero's cases, and reader who have followed Archie's hairbreadth escapes from entrapment in the past will be left wondering at the end of this one. But not about who is guilty of the murders that follow Lucy Valdon's first visit to West 35th Street. It's a matter of maternity that brings her, and the trail that is blazed by a few handmade horsehair buttons has the rare effect of leading Nero out of his habitat and forcing him to set up shop outside.

148 WOMEN

Any one of whom could have been the mother of the four-month-old infant who had been abandoned on the beautiful widow's doorstep.

The big question was: WHICH ONE? The only person who knew for sure was dead.

And before Nero Wolfe and Archie could find the solution to the maddening mystery, two other violent deaths clouded the horizon.

Readers are welcome to attend all or some of the Nero Wolfe book discussions.  Join Nero Wolfe enthusiast, Dr. Marilyn Schaffer, professor emerita at the University of Hartford to discuss this next Rex Stout mystery.  
Copies  of the book are available at the library.  Registration is appreciated.
