I read the books in the Nero Wolfe series very randomly when I first started reading the series, and never noticed any problem with that. Even reading the three Zeck books out of order did not bother me. Somewhere in my thirties or forties I decided to read them all in order and filled in the books that I was missing at that time.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-62392874247799621532018-01-12T18:40:26.122-08:002018-01-12T18:40:26.122-08:00I am sure the characters in this series are the re...I am sure the characters in this series are the reason many people reread the books, Margot.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-63332633510462310592018-01-12T14:16:31.849-08:002018-01-12T14:16:31.849-08:00Even though Stout's work is not the type you u...Even though Stout's work is not the type you usually go for, Col, I do think you will enjoy trying at least one.
