I have one that has three short stories and two novellas, and one that has three novellas. I hope to read those this year. A little different from my usual reading, but definitely fun.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-19910139824740003132016-01-02T20:41:18.049-08:002016-01-02T20:41:18.049-08:00The Richard S.

In the earlier ones, Wolfe and Archie can both be very sexist, although for different reasons. If you want to try one of the earlier books, I especially liked The Rubber Band (1936) or Some Buried Caesar (1939). A favorite is Silent Speaker (1946). In the 1950s there is The Golden Spiders (1953). There is a book that is a sequel to Too Many Cooks written almost 30 years later called A Right to Die (1964) that deals with the civil rights movement. Also about the same time: The Doorbell Rang (1965).TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-56722267010008241482016-01-01T18:18:19.919-08:002016-01-01T18:18:19.919-08:00Hey Tracy, can you give me a Rex Stout to start wi...Hey Tracy, can you give me a Rex Stout to start with?
