The Doorbell Rang

Nero Wolfe reluctantly agrees to investigate when a wealthy socialite claims the FBI is harassing her for distributing 10,000 copies of a book critical of the Bureau. This excellent novella features America's most famous detective, who uses his oversized genius to outwit the arrogant but bumbling G-men. Tom Parker's voice for Wolfe's narrator and side-kick, Archie Goodwin, is sharp and witty. Without embellishment by music or sound effects, this recording offers all of the technical quality listeners should expect. J.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
