First, thank goodness Bantam Crime Line has begun reprinting the Nero Wolfe titles for a new generation. Fer-De-Lance is the first Nero Wolfe mystery that Rex Stout wrote and a good one it is. You don't have to worry about the order though because each story is a stand alone. Here we have murder,attempted murder, and a deadly snake. Start with this one and you will be hooked.

If you have grade school children,do not let them grow up without either reading this to them or having them read it themselves. It is a jewel in a crowded,poorly written,and generally sad childrens book market. A parent won't regret this one.
