Resumen del Editor
It's 1978. Nero Wolfe, New York's 300-pound epicurean genius detective, has been dead for two years, leaving Archie holding the brownstone. In a post-Wolfe dystopia with a sense of humor, Archie, Saul, Fritz, and Cramer find themselves in the crosshairs of a worldwide criminal cartel.
In America, it's a time of change: Vietnam, Watergate, free love, smallpox, the reserve clause, and cheap oil are all history. People are changing names, changing jobs, and changing sides. Aided and abetted by Roy Cohn, Richard Wragg, Dorothy Bruce, the Army, FBI, CIA, and the Dutch police, will Saul and Archie live up to Wolfe's legacy?
Archie Goodwin's Office, Nero Wolfe Speaking is rife with answers and, sometimes, more questions. Did Wolfe really die of natural causes? How will Archie function in a world of hippies, goths, disco, the women's movement, and word processors?

Heloise considers it a blessing to be a person who seldom attracts attention. In her suburb, she's just a mom, the young widow with the forgettable job, who somehow never misses a soccer game. In the state capital, she's the redheaded lobbyist with a good cause and a mediocre track record. But in discreet hotel rooms throughout the area, she's the woman of your dreams - if you can afford the hourly fee. For more than a decade, Heloise believed she was safe, managing to keep up this rigidly compartmentalized life. But her secret life is under siege. One county over, another so-called suburban madam has been found dead in her car, an apparent suicide.

What Doesn't Kill You is the story of how Thomasina Hodges, a.k.a. Tee, loses her job and finds herself. Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

Good enough for me...
I have listened to all the Rex Stout audible books and read most of the rest, and he is one of my favorite authors. I had seen a few Nero Wolfe books by other authors and decided to give a few of them a try. This one is the only one I liked. It caught the spirit of Rex Stouts writing and the characters. This novel is set in 1978 after Nero Wolfe has died, and is narrated by Archie as he teams with Saul to start their own agency. This is certainly is not as good as even an average Rex Stout Nero Wolfe, but it was MUCH better than the other knock offs and I enjoyed the whole thing. I would certainly give this author another try if another Nero Wolfe book appears.

An interesting story, but, when it comes to Nero Wolfe books, there was only one Red Stout.

Interesting take on what might happen after Wolfe
Interesting take on what might happen after Wolfe. Story OK no where near Rex Stout. Tried too hard to force in reference to so many characters from past stories. Completely missed the Lily Rowan part. All true fans all have believed eventually Archie and Lily would wind up together. Author didn’t understand the relationship between Archie and Lily. They were too strong independent people in a relationship. The author had Lily described Archie as a philanderer which supposes that they had a commitment. But both had understood the relationship they didn’t include a commitment. And describing Archie as wanting to keep Lily under his thumb. I think this comes from viewing from a modern prospective a relationship based in the 1940s and 50s. Also for a few details from the past stories wrong but still OK.

Where’s the mystery?
Although I enjoyed hearing about the lives of the characters in the post-Nero world, the author focused on my least favorite books in the original series, and the actual detective work described was pretty ho-hum. And they lived happily ever after…

Life After Nero Wolfe
Warning!! Spoilers!! Let me just say from the beginning, I really enjoyed this story. It kind of drew me in without my even realizing I was 1/4 through the story. The narration reminded me of Jack Webb narrating Dragnet stories. I was a little sad about the changes in relationships, but everyone grows and changes, even Archie & Lily. I’m glad Fritz was able to find someone and Saul was able to move on and start a new life with a new love.
The storyline was easy to follow and get lost in. So many times I found myself thinking about how this new telling would fit into the real world events of the 1970’s.
I’ll be on the lookout for more of Sandy Lerner’s Archie Goodwin adventures.

Excellent - start to finish!
I, like many, have secretly loved Archie for decades. Thank you for wrapping up his life post-Nero Wolfe. I was sad to see that Lily wasn't one of the family anymore but his choice for marriage was satisfactory.

Potential
I have listened to all available Nero Wolfe audiobooks by Rex Stout and Robert Goldsbourogh and am working through the radio episodes w Sidney Greenstreet
The initial part of the book for me is understandable but was a bit tedious for me. This detracted from the final entry into the final “mystery”
This resolution seemed very rushed and lacking in the normal detail.
Lots of loose ends. I am hoping that the author has set the new stage so that in follow up novels we can see how these loose ends and the more tradition crime solving focus can return given the new landscape Hopeful?

Interesting premise
The book starts well it’s an interesting premise to see what would happen after Nero end the story builds quite well, and then the ending is a big nothing sandwich.

There is Only One
There is only one Rex Stout so it makes no sense to compare writers and how they project the characters. This is a light weight rendering of Archie and the rest of the characters in Stouts books. That being said it wasn't a back start. I am anxious to read the next book. That one will tell the fate of this author in my library.

Dumpster fire of a mystery novel
The story starts out strong with a lot of potential, but ultimately leaves the reader disappointed. There are random characters that contribute little to the story, The ending is abrupt and poorly planned. The mystery could have been stellar, but crashes and burns instead. The narrator was decent, but did not portray Archie's voice well. The year is supposed to be 1978 yet the author makes no attempt to be era appropriate, instead it sounds like it is taking place in 2021. The author is weak when it comes to describing rooms and surroundings and characters are hastily introduced.
Overall it comes across like it was written by a high school student in AP English.
