Champagne for One

By: Rex Stout

Narrated by: Michael Prichard

There's nothing like murder to spoil a good meal. That's what Archie Goodwin, the able assistant to Nero Wolfe, discovers at a lavish dinner party hosted by a billionaire. It was a casual evening among gorgeous society girls . . . until champagne became a murder weapon.

Luckily for Archie, his boss knows champagne—and other gourmet fare. He also happens to be a genius at deduction. That combination could mean the last call for a killer who spiked the bubbly with cyanide.©1958 Rex Stout; (P)1996 Books on Tape Inc.

Old Favorite!!!!!

Love how this one develops!!!! The twists and turns!!!! It never DISSAPPOINTS!!!!!! You will love it too!!!!!

I wish all the Michael Pritchard narrated Neo Wolfe books were available on Audible!

For example, The Mother Hunt and Too Many Clients. This book, Champagne for One is an excellent example of Rex Stout at his finest.

Best

I am listening to as many NW books as possible and am running out fast. I am totally hooked. This was the best so far. I especially thought the final process for resolution really really showed the nuances of NW’s approach and person. Good balance between NW and Archie. Even Sol had more depth. I can’t wait to find another I have not listened to.

This is a thinking man's detective!

Loved it! love all the Nero Wolf books. Listen very carefully, think about the actions! See if you can come close to "who done it" Sometimes if I think I missed something I go back to catch the nuance of the page. Think!!

Standardly Great

This is a great standard Nero Wolfe. There is not a lot of development of the series characters, but the story characters and events are well worth the listen. For me, the best Nero Wolfe novels have a great story, great story characters, great twists, and also develop the series characters in unexpected ways. This has the usual great narration, a good story, some nice twists and was a pleasure to hear. This is one they did on the A&E series and I had read before yet I still enjoyed the listen a lot.
