The whole team is fantastic. I can sink into one of those novels like a well worn reading couch.
I even enjoyed the Maury Chaykin /Timothy Hutton TV series. I thought they captured the series amazingly well in terms of tone, etc. Did you ever watch those?

Loved that television series. Nero and Archie were perfectly cast, and the whole production was top-notch. It was critically acclaimed for a reason, as well as entertaining and suitably faithful to the source material!

Hutton was amazing. He made Archie even more fun than he was in the books. Yes, like you said, the whole thing was top-notch.

Yes, Hutton owned the role (although I am evenly split between my love for the book character and the series character as portrayed by Hutton). The show was just a lot of fun.

Do you know, I put a hold on a Nero Wolfe book at the library the last time you mentioned him, and I STILL haven’t received it. I had no idea he was still so popular!

They are still really popular! You’d be surprised. Fortunately, the popularity is so well deserved. 🙂
