Three for the Chair is a collection of three novellas featuring Rex Stout's iconic detective, Nero Wolfe, and his witty assistant, Archie Goodwin. First published in 1957, the book offers readers a captivating glimpse into Wolfe's unique problem-solving skills and Goodwin's sharp narration. The three novellas—A Window for Death, Immune to Murder, and Too Many Detectives—are diverse in their settings but consistent in their intellectual intrigue. In A Window for Death, Wolfe is called in to investigate the suspicious circumstances of a man's death after a family reunion. Immune to Murder takes Wolfe and Archie to a diplomatic hunting lodge, where political intrigue mixes with murder. The third novella, Too Many Detectives, presents a case involving wiretapping and an unexpected murder. Each story showcases Wolfe's methodical approach to solving mysteries without ever leaving the comfort of his brownstone, while Archie handles the legwork with wit and charm. Stout's writing is engaging, blending sharp dialogue, clever plotting, and memorable characters. Three for the Chair is a delightful read for fans of classic detective fiction, delivering the intellectual satisfaction and suspense typical of Nero Wolfe's adventures.
