Whether this is your first foray into the world of Nero Wolfe or have dined at his table for years, The Doorbell Rang is well worth the reading although to my mind it is not ne plus ultra of the canon.If you are looking for a literate, funny and densely plotted old-fashioned whodunit, you will find none better than the Nero Wolfe series.The Doorbell Rang is kind of unusual in that it squares off against the FBI as an abusive, vindictive and malicious organization even though Stout mostly avoids plots with a political overtone. While he doesn't let the agency quite off the hook by the conclusion, he doesn't slaughter them either, and that ambiguity won't please everyone.Though fairly new to the Wolfe series myself, I've been on a Nero Wolfe binge for the last couple of months and have downed at least 25 servings so far. These books are pure comfort food.Tasty, engaging and easy to digest.Wolfe, if you haven't met him, is a genius detective and recluse, a lovable if misogynistic agoraphobe and an obese, worldly, and deeply educated gourmand. Also a grammar snob and sesquipedalian.Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's factotum, besides being the reclusive master's fast-dancing contact to the streets, is a talented private detective with a smart lip, fondness for women, and tape-recorder memory. Classic-mystery fans will appreciate that Archie is also a better-rounded and more believable and smarter character than Sam Spade. And by the way it is Hammett's Sam Spade, not Chandler's Philip Marlowe whom Archie most closely resembles. Archie is pure New York, a wiseacre and an adept practitioner of that creative slang common to the inner boroughs in the 1920s and 30s. Think colorful, not coarse. As in "he was sitting on the back of his lap." He doesn't tip a cab driver he "shows the hackie a finif." Wolfe's shirt is "a few acres of canary yellow cotton." Or he'll make an off-beat observation like, "The trouble with mornings is that they come when you're not awake." Like nearly all Nero Wolfe mysteries, The Doorbell Rang saddles the great detective with a seemingly impossible task, and though he has probably guessed the who in the whodunit early on he won't spell it out ("open the bag on the full crop" as Archie would say) until he can cinch it conclusively, and earn his exorbitant fee, before the always-stumped NYPD homicide branch beat him to the punch.In this case we are led to believe that FBI agents have murdered a journalist who was hoovering up (ahem) dirt on the agency. Wolfe's wealthy client is simultaneously suffering FBI harassment in an unrelated matter. Wolfe's task is not to prove the FBI agents did the murder but to prove they did not, and then trade that revelation to the Feds in return for a promise they will lay off his client forever.If I have one plot criticism of this tale it is that there is a red herring introduced early on that is never resolved. I won't spell it out in case you haven't read the book yet, but it's something to do with the client's buried secrets. In most Wolfe mysteries there are no red herrings at all. Naturally the fun is going through all the likely suspects and trying to eliminate them or focus on them, much as Archie does. Leads and hints may peter out, but doesn't throw curve balls the way many writers do, and normally picks up all the marbles before tying a knot on the bag.Stout's passionate loathing of J. Edgar Hoover at the time this book was written, about 1965, may have sprung from having been falsely accused of Communist leanings by a Republican congressional committee back in the early 50s. But back in 1965 it was not generally known what a dangerous, fanatical bastard Hoover was.Wolfe's witty obsession with good grammar raises a major beef I have developed with this title and all the others I have consumed in the Bantam Books reissues: Way too many typos and sentence errors. I'm reading the Kindle versions and don't know if the print editions suffer the same textual faults, but these digital versions frequently pull me up short with mangled sentences, missing or redundant punctuation, or a clause from one sentence transposed into another. Or part of a sentence repeated part! of a sentence" twice, and.,redundant missing...see what I mean?This is especially irksome because Rex Stout, and his editor Marshall Best, whom I knew slightly, were exceptionally careful about grammar and typography.If you want a demonstration that the listed publisher, Bantam, and its ilk in modern-day publishing just don't give a damn about the language, the reader, or the author whose works they plunder for profit, consider the meagre extra investment it would have taken to hire a competent proof reader for a few hours. We're probably talking about something like $500 and possibly a good deal less. I admit I do not understand how a book that's been in print for 50 years can acquire new typos it wasn't born with, and has escaped through middle age without, but assume it has something to do digitizing text on the cheap and then not bothering to read it through.Bottom line: A very enjoyable read with an unusual--for Stout--political angle, and a satisfying conclusion that probably wouldn't quite cut it today.
This is one of Stout's better books in the series, for a number of reasons. The plot is fascinating, and Stout doesn't make the mistake he sometimes does of having too many characters but not really giving them unique personalities. There is some really great humor in this book, and it has a unique and interacting interaction between Inspector Cramer and Archie Goodwin. If you like Nero Wolfe books, you will probably really enjoy this one. The only thing is that the murder is solved fairly early on, and the reader isn't given many clues to try to solve it on their own, but it's still a lot of fun to read. The ending is particularly funny.
I have been a fan of Rex Stout for at least fifty years and have probably read all of his mysteries including those not including Nero Wolfe and Archie. They never disappoint, and it was fun to reread this novel and revisit old friends: all of the detective gang with mentions even of Doc Vollmer, Lewis Hewitt, Nathaniel Parker and Marko Vukcic.The Nero Wolfe novels do not need to be read in order. There are a few things that change over time, but nothing that interferes with understanding the current book. And they all tend to satisfy. In this book, Wolfe takes on Hoover's FBI in a way that anyone could appreciate. If you have not read any of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe stories before and you like mysteries, do jump in. These are classics and well worth reading.
I consider The Doorbell Rang to be one of Stout's best mysteries, even though the murder itself proved to be very straightforward once the vital missing clue was revealed. This reveal happens before the denouement, but because of the complexity of the plot, it doesn't lessen the enjoyment of the final wrap-up.It's a testament to Stout's skill that the final scene is even more, as Wolfe would say, "Satisfactory," to the reader.If you can only read one Nero Wolfe mystery, this is the one to pick. It's a classic!
Rex Stout never disappoints, even after all this time. I have read the Nero Wolfe mysteries for 50 years, and it's amazing how well they've held up, even if Archie does spend a lot of time looking for a phone booth! The Doorbell Rang was probably the last book in the series...Fer-de-Lance was the first. Start there and enjoy!
Just when I think I've read all the Nero Wolfe books, I discover another. This time it's The Doorbell Rang. This time Nero Wolfe crosses J. Edgar Hoover when Nero's new client tires of being followed under the guise of a security matter. I love that there's plenty of twists and turns and couldn't wait to discover who rings the doorbell at the end and whether Nero - or actually Archie answers. A great read!
In a series of wonderful mysteries, this stands out as exceptional. Everything works. It is the best of the best.A comment made concerning the FBI, "the FBI is untouchable", gave me the shivers because this book, written in the 1960's, indicates an FBI which operates outside the law. How similar we find that organization in 2018.
I have this book five stars because Nero went up against The FBI and won and solved the mystery with one stone.I really like Archie, he really does the foot work and he is somewhat of a ladies man at times.These books are really refreshing from the hard thriller mysteries with bad language and sex scenes every time you turn a page. There is nothing I don't like about Nero Wolfe.This only my 3rd book of his series but I'm going through them and not in order.For those of you who have not gotten around to reading one give it a try. I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!You should not be disappointed.
