A triumvirate of novellas make up this great read: 'Before I Die,' 'Help Wanted, Male,' and 'Instead of Evidence.'
In the first, they all thought they were about to die . . . and they were right. Dazy Perrit was an underworld kingpin until a hail of bullets sent him into early retirement.
In the second, Ben Jensen was a well-connected publisher until a determined gunman severed all his connections.
And in the third, Eugene R. Poor's company made novelties like exploding cigars until one of them blew him to kingdom come.
Conclusion? Only our gourmet sleuth, Nero Wolfe and his sidekick, Archie Goodwin, can solve the deadly equations of murder times three.
Librarian's note: each of the individual titles are also listed separately elsewhere on Goodreads.
