This is the fourth "Nero Wolfe" novel.
At this point the formula is well established and it's a typical mystery in the series, if you like this kind of mystery it's for, if not then not.
For Fans of Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot etc.

Second book in the "TekWar" series
my thoughts: more crime novel in a futuristic setting than science fiction this was a fun and quuick read. The "jake Cardigan" character is clearly modeled after the hard-boiled private investigators of the 40s and 50s (think "Sam Spade" or "Philip Marlovw") and while William Shatner's writing isn't on the same level as Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler the book was quite enjoyable.

Conbini commented on Why Not? by Ray Robertson
(Note: I read this book in a german translation)
You know the saying that you only should speak good of the dead? That's how I try to speak or write about books.
That said there are two things I can comfortably say about this book: - it was short - it didn't cost me any money since I got it from the local library
Please remember that's just my subjective opinion, YMMV
