Curtains for Three is a riveting collection of three Nero Wolfe novellas by Rex Stout, each story filled with unexpected twists and the clever detective work that fans of Wolfe and his assistant, Archie Goodwin, have come to expect. The novellas — The Gun with Wings, Bullet for One, and Disguise for Murder — showcase Wolfe's keen intellect and Archie's quick wit as they navigate complex cases in their unique styles. In The Gun with Wings, Wolfe investigates the mysterious death of a famous opera singer, initially deemed a suicide, but Wolfe suspects foul play amidst a web of jealousy and rivalry. Bullet for One presents a high-stakes mystery as Wolfe is called to solve the murder of a man shot while horseback riding, leading him to confront conflicting alibis and motives among business associates. Finally, Disguise for Murder unfolds within Wolfe's own brownstone during an orchid exhibition, when a visitor is murdered, forcing Wolfe to solve the crime right under his own roof. Stout's precise plotting, sharp dialogue, and memorable character dynamics make Curtains for Three an engaging read, as each story balances humor, suspense, and Wolfe's signature logic. This collection is perfect for mystery enthusiasts and fans of classic detective fiction, offering a taste of the intellectual puzzles and character-driven storytelling that define the Nero Wolfe series.
