The Father Hunt

De: Rex Stout

Narrado por: Michael Prichard

Pretty Amy Denovo wants to find the father she has never seen, but she can't afford Nero Wolfe's outlandish fees...or can she? Suddenly, she's knocking on the oversized detective's door with a parcel full of bills in hand - and a quarter of a million hidden in her closet. It's all part of a nest egg left by her unknown father. But when Wolfe and his able assistant, Archie Goodwin, begin to trace the money to the man, they make a startling discovery: Amy's father murdered her mother, and now he may be after her.

This is one of 73 mysteries written by one of America's greatest writers about one of its most interesting characters. You can't call yourself a mystery fan if you haven't read Rex Stout.

"It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." (The New York Times Book Review)
"What's not to like about a Nero Wolfe mystery? The mysteries are short, cleverly plotted, well paced, and, if you're an audiobook listener, wonderfully read by Michael Prichard....Prichard has read nearly 20 books in Stout's series and has mastered Wolfe's deep, meditative voice and Archie's spry, chipper voice, as well as those of a host of other characters we recognize from one recording to the next."

The Father Hunt, my review.

I loved it. Never disappointed in Michael Pritchard’s interpretations.! Lily Rowen is a strong character who is perfect for Archie.

Wait till the end!

Outstanding all the way through. Had to wait until the next to last page for the case to be solved. Stout has done it again.

Another Brilliant Nero Wolfe story

The Father Hunt

As always the suspense and story keeps me guessing I started on old radio shows but really like audiobooks much better

One of the better Nero Wolfe books

The dialogue and sleuthing we're better than usual. The story had more twists and the ending wasn't quite pulled out of a hat.
This is our 20th or so Nero Wolf book, we are hooked! He is our before bed gentle murder mystery listening. Consistently good.

Brilliant storytelling

A very clever and engrossing plot which seems quite ordinary until it has unfolded fully. Really enjoyed it.

Any additional comments?

Like all the Nero Wolfe books read by Michael Prichard, this was excellent.
