"A Right to Die" Reviewed by Anthony Boucher, October 25, 1964

From the New York Times, October 25, 1964:

"Mike Shayne made his debut in 1939; five years earlier, Rex. Stout introduced one of the immortals among series detectives, Nero Wolfe, who has had few better novel-length cases than A RIGHT TO DIE (Viking, $3.50). Here Wolfe has a Negro client, to say nothing of a few Negro suspects, and his murder investigation is largely entangled with the affairs of R.O.C.C. (the Rights of Citizens Committee). Mr. Stout handles black-white relationships with honesty, intelligence and wit. The unconventional situation presents Wolfe as a more fully-dimensioned character than usual and stimulates his creator to one of his best puzzles."
