Read: 3 July, 2007Amy Denovo's mother chose her last name because it means "of new," representing the clean break she made away from Amy's father. She never spoke of her past to Amy and, though questioned, refused to divulge her father's identity. That is, until the day she was killed in a hit-and-run incident. Soon after, Amy finds a box filled with money and a note explaining that the money is from her mysterious father. She uses this money to hire Nero Wolfe to dig into her mother's past and find her father.
Another excellent addition to the Nero Wolfe library. Disappointingly for a mystery novel, many crucial details are withheld until the very end preventing any accurate guess as to the answers. Despite this, however, the story is an enjoyable read. Wolfe's eccentricities and Archie's weight jokes are enough to make just about any plot worthwhile (at least for the limited number of Wolfe books I've read).
