I really think that Stout shone in the novella form. These are no exception.

This collection contains thee stories -- one about the murder or suicide of an opera star who lost his voice, one about the murder of an inventor, and one about a murderer whose disguise is accidentally penetrated during a visit to see Nero Wolfe's orchids. The first one is one of my absolute

favorites, involving very nice loving couple (half of which I the widow of the victim).The third story is just a bit kinky --one of the few stories that remind me of Stout's pre-Wolfe phase as the :American Kraft-Ebbing."
