I've been wanting to read a Rex Stout book for a while - it's what the Garrett P.I. books by Glen Cook are based on - and I finally found one.  It was fun overall, but I felt that the mystery solution was a bit out of left field, and we hadn't quite been given enough clues along the way to make it satisfying.  Or I'm not enough of a mystery reader to put it together.  Regardless, it was fun.  Compared to most pop mysteries I've read, it didn't insult my intelligence with the writing level.
