Over My Dead Body

By: Rex Stout

Narrated by: Michael Prichard

Nero Wolfe, lover of fine food and prize orchids, is a genius at daring detection. But he is always on guard when it comes to women. Now murder at a fencing studio engages him and his confidential assistant, Archie Goodwin, in a dangerous duel with death. The prime suspect is a Balkan beauty who has a secret reason for wanting Wolfe to clear her -- and a double identity that may be the perfect foil for covering up a killer.©1940 Rex Stout; (P)1994 Books on Tape Inc.

You can't really miss with Wolfe

Michael Prichard has Wolfe down to a T. Personally, in my head I hear Archie as being a little more chipper, but that's just my choice. Great story, loads of political intrigue, and a couple of murders...plus we meet Wolfe's adopted daughter!

Still enjoy Rex Stout. Can't resist Nero & Archie

As always I enjoy a good story with Nero, Archie and all the rest. Entertaining!

I loved this book. Please get ALL the Nero Wolfe mysreries on

Audible they are all so good, a real treat for any book lover.

Wolfe’s a Daddy

The great man, in every sense, meets his adopted daughter in a pre-war dose of Nazi skullduggery. None of the villains or suspects ranks high in the canon but the climax is exciting. For fans the real pleasure is often seeing another turn in Nero’s dance with Inspector Cramer - where Rex scores over Conan Doyle and his less interesting foil, Lestrade. That does not disappoint.

Difficult to follow at times as an audiobook

I read this book decades ago. It is as good as an audiobook, but because of the number of characters it is harder to follow the storyline
