"Readers who have followed this outsized private eye in his long career will welcome his latest exploit, even though the telling is a bit under par."

"He Wanted to Cook, and He Did" by Rex Stout, August 21, 1955

From New York Times, August 21, 1955.

"This book fooled me. A book titled "International Chef" would surely be about cooking and would therefore have many recipes. But it hasn't."

From "Criminals at Large," by Anthony Boucher, New York Times, May 22, 1955.

"...[W]holly unlike Stout's later work, it's a striking anticipation of the modern school of psychological suspense, and even more welcome today than when it originally appeared."

"Some Wolfe addicts... may regret the experiment; a straight foreign intrigue tale with neither humor nor deduction hardly seems a proper Wolfe exploit."

Rex Stout Reviews M.F.K. Fisher's "An Alphabet for Gourmets," September 9, 1949

"Suggestions for the Sensitive Palate," by Rex Stout, New York Times, September 9, 1949.

"It would be fun to argue the question: which is the greater treasure, a gifted cook or a gifted writer on cooking? But M.F.K. Fisher -- to stick to the lady's pseudonym -- could not be cited in evidence on either side, because she is both."

"Three Men Out" Reviewed by Anthony Boucher, April 25, 1954

From "Criminals at Large," by Anthony Boucher, New York Times, April 25, 1954.

"The first of these three novelettes from the American Magazine seems pretty obvious for Wolfe's talents; but the other two should entertain you well with they dying message of a mathematician, not too credible but fine detective fun, and a murder at the World Series (Giants vs. Red Sox, which seems to introduce an element of fantasy) in which Archie and Nero separately reach the solution in a dead heat."

"As to Nero Wolfe, himself, was he suggested by anyone? This is the $64 question, and it is inevitable and Mr. Stout probably is sick of hearing it."

From "Criminals at Large, by Anthony Boucher, New York Times, November 15, 1953.

"A vicious racket concerning displaced persons, a nice puzzle in impersonation, a neatly logical denouement and Archie Goodwin's adept narration (a perfect example of the art which conceals art) add up to a highly professional and thoroughly satisfactory mystery."

"The Golden Spiders" Display Advertisment, November 1, 1953

from "Criminals at Large," by Anthony Boucher, New York Times, October 28, 1951.

"…[T]he solution is at once plausible and surprising (if not quite deductively watertight). Wolfe and Archie are both in top form and Stout has rarely done a better novelistic job of putting flesh on assorted minor characters. The insatiate fans will be happier than ever, and anyone who's been wavering in his allegiance to Stout and Wolfe should come back and try this one."
