This is quintessential, middle-of-the-road Stout, right down to opening the story with Archie doing his best to irritate Wolfe with cutesiness. Wolfe gets approached by the Hawthorne sisters to solve the mystery of their brother's will. Wolfe of course wants to say no, but events, the Brownstone's rapidly decreasing bank balance, and the gods that rule all detective novels mean Wolfe is soon investigating a murder.

Where There's A Will (And Also Some Horticultural Geeking, Not That I Get Overly Happy About That Or Anything) )

Right, I think that's most of my thoughts done. I really enjoyed this. What did everyone else think?
