Book Reviews of Christmas Party

Book Review: Murder Mars a Marriage
Summary: 5 Stars

Wolfe wants Archie to drive him to a meeting with an orchid hybridizer. Archie begs off, showing Wolfe a marriage license. Archie tells Wolfe that he (Archie) must attend a Christmas party at which his impending marriage will be announced. Wolfe charters a limousine and leaves for the meeting, and Archie goes to the party. Before anything can be announced, the host drops dead of poisoning, and the chief suspect becomes a bartender dressed as Santa Claus. Santa disappeared shortly after the death and long before the police arrived on the scene. Wolfe must solve the murder before Santa's identity is discovered--Wolfe's very freedom may depend on it.

In "Man Alive," the second story on the tape, a beautiful designer is suspected of murdering a homeless man. She hires Wolfe to keep her out of jail. This murder is the last in a string of strange deaths that have bedeviled the designer's existence. Unraveling the tangle of greed, jealousy, and vengeance is no easy task, but Wolfe is up to it.

The CBC produced 13 Nero Wolfe radio plays, and Durkin Hayes Audio has published six of them on three cassettes. The production values are excellent, the stories well acted, and the CBC plays provide a medium for enjoying Nero Wolfe that is every bit as entertaining as the current A&E television series.
