After I
graduated college, I packed my bags, and with my dog in tow, moved to
Manhattan. I found an apartment on 30th and Madison and began my
life as an urban explorer. Except for growing up in a small Texas town and
reading too many Nero Wolfe mysteries, there was no reasonable excuse for not
looking for a real job and beginning a life of responsibility. After almost a
year of visiting jazz clubs and museums, and elbowing my way through throngs of humanity, I missed seeing sunrises over natural horizons and I headed back to
Texas.
Although
Nero Wolfe rarely left his midtown Manhattan brownstone, it was not beyond him
to travel to other parts of the country. Here are three Nero Wolfe mysteries
set outside of New York City. Can you identify them?
What
mystery takes place in Montana, causing Wolfe to leave the comforts of his
brownstone in the Big Apple?
What is the
name of the mystery that takes place in Upstate New York where Archie
accompanies Wolfe to an orchid show?
What is the
name of the mystery where Wolfe travels to West Virginia to address a conclave
of chefs?
