I did give away a bunch of books that I now regret not having, but you can't keep EVERYTHING.

THE SILENT SPEAKER is second - for me - only to MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD which is my own very favorite Wolfe book. I reread THE SILENT SPEAKER recently - still just as good. It took me a while to see the wonderfulness of this particular book, but now I love it.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-45200621489714135712018-03-02T16:16:43.869-05:002018-03-02T16:16:43.869-05:00You can order these sorts of hats online, but I...You can order these sorts of hats online, but I'm not sure you can walk into a store and buy one. Unless maybe in Europe. I love Michael Innes though I know he's an acquired taste. Glad you like him too, Mudpuddle. Nowadays, I think we're in the minority. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-42847043838228436132018-03-02T15:49:25.669-05:002018-03-02T15:49:25.669-05:00FROM LONDON FAR sounds very good.

THE SILENT SPEAKER is my favorite Nero Wolfe book, and I plan to reread it sometime this year.<br /><br />And as far as the covers, they are lovely.
