I like Nero Wolfe stories
pretty well, but if we are going to consider him hardboiled,
then we owe big apologies to Sue Grafton. We also need to
schedule some nice, tough Margery Allingham on the reading
list. I mean, this stuff is as cozy as they come, right down
to the eccentric detective, the preposterous clues, and the
obsession for food/flowers. I actually thought that Philo
Vance, Miss Marple, and Wolfe kind of defined the
genre.
