	Amazon.de: Fer de Lance (Crime Line): English Books: Rex Stout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Fer-de-lance introduces the brilliant, idiosyncratic, and obese armchair detective to the world and, while it may not be the best book of the series, it provides a wonderful murder set on a golf course and a cast of characters and laundry list of eccentricities that are an integral part of each novel and novella.
		Rex Stout has managed to pull off a feat unparalleled to this day: the perfect combination of deductive reasoning--as exemplified by the classic Golden Age writers such as Christie, Sayers, Van Dine, and Queen--with the hard-boiled attitude and dialogue of the more realistic tough guy writers such as Chandler, Macdonald, Hammett, and Robert B. Parker.
		Having recently made the acquaintance of Rex Stout's eccentric sleuth, Nero Wolfe, I have been devouring the (thankfully numerous)items in the canon as I find them.

		Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe before; I like this enormous, unmoving, orchid-growing detective for his humanly childish self, but I welcome him much more for the sake of the delightful young man he has engaged as his assistant and chronicler.
		“Sheer good writing is what distinguishes Rex Stout from the ruck of crime novelists, at a time when the gulf seems to be widening between the crude and careless on the one hand and the pretentious and mannered on the other.
		I am afraid that I cannot warm to Rex Stout or to his Nero Wolfe.

	Robert Crais: On Rex Stout
		Rex Stout has given the narrator a clean appealing voice, just enough attitude to show that he’s nobody’s chump, and a wit like Marlowe on a day when all the bio-rhythms are up.
		Stout gave us Archie because Archie is us, or who we would like to be if we could get away with it.
		That’s the message and the feel-good inherent in the voice and character that Rex Stout has given to Archie Goodwin.

		You could feel the excitement of their being created, or having just been created, in Stout's prose; it was more careful and less unnecessarily verbose than in _The League_.
		As to the mystery angle in this book (a weak point in all of Rex Stout's books): the solution to the murder(s) is disappointing and can be guessed with many pages left to go.
		Stout's stories are all well written and contribute to fast paced adventures that usually end with one character very unhappy, in this case Paul appears to be both unamused and unimpressed by Nero Wolfe's solution of the case.

	Authors and Creators: Rex Stout
		Rex Stout was born in Indiana in 1886 to Quaker parents and raised in Kansas and, by most accounts, was quite the precocious child, reading the Bible cover to cover (twice!) before he was four, and becoming state spelling champion at the age of thirteen.
		Stout also served several terms as an officer of the Authors' League of America and one term as president of the Mystery Writers of America.
		Mind you, a few Stout's last Nero Wolfe novel, A Family Affair, written at the height of the Watergate scandal, is probably the darkest of the Wolfe stories.

		Here Stout gives you plenty of clues and hints towards the solution of the murder, almost literally telling you how it was committed in the first 50 pages.
		While it is not my favorite of Stout's Nero Wolfe stories, it is a nice introduction to to Nero Wolfe and his confidential assistant Archie Goodwin.
		In the end, Stout does a good job of tying everything up and showing the logic behind the solution and how Wolfe and Archie got from point A to Point B to the solution.

	Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin
		Over the years, Stout gave hints – but usually no more than hints – of Wolfe's younger days, all of which suggest that Wolfe was himself a man of action once, and very much ruled by his passions.
		However, by the time the movies were being made, Stout had refined Goodwin into a smarter and more developed character, still tough and streetwise, but with a better set of brains and manners.
		"Rex Stout, through the voice of Archie telling us about his world (a full third of which was occupied by Nero Wolfe), raised detective fiction to the level of art with these books.
