Why did the late multimillionaire Noel Hawthorne leave his sisters, April, May, and June, a peach, a pear, and an apple? Why did he will the bulk of his considerable estate to a woman who was most definitely not his wife? Now Nero Wolfe, able, astute, and unscrupulous detective that he is, must get to the bottom of a will that's left a whirlpool of menace . . . and a legacy of murder that's about to be fulfilled.   Introduction by Dean R. Koontz   "It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore."--The New York Times Book Review   A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America's greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained--and puzzled--millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.… (mehr)

This 8th book in the Nero Wolfe series was pretty typical. Although I hadn't read this one before, Wolfe and Archie behaved in the manner that I associate with them in my memory, though there was a little less talk about their meals than usual. Wolfe does briefly leave his brownstone to visit the client's home (a fact which surprised me no less than it did Archie & Fred!). A quick and enjoyable read. ( )

After learning the unusual terms of their late brother’s will, the notable Hawthorne sisters, June, May, and April, turn to Nero Wolfe to help them contest the will. Although Wolfe doesn’t usually get involved in matters of this sort, money is tight and his expenses are mounting, so he’s inclined to accept the case. When it becomes a question of murder, Wolfe is on the spot to prevent Inspector Cramer and the police from a miscarriage of justice by identifying the real killer. While the eccentric characters and the witty dialogue kept me turning the pages, they overshadowed the mystery plot to the point that it was hard to follow Wolfe’s reasoning to its logical conclusion.

Times are hard and even Nero Wolfe has to compromise. No more fance cases, this time it is a contested will. Wolfe does not like to fight over dead people's money, but he does need money for himself and his staff so off he goes. Or well, Archie Goodwin goes.

I like this book because while the character gallery was a bit too large, it was limited and allowed for many different theories of what has happened. Personally I went with a theory based on the experience Sayers, Stout and Christie have given me and that wasn't too bad. Though there were red herrings too.

I was introduced to Nero Wolfe through the amazing Nero Wolfe A&E series, so I see Maury Chaykin as Nero Wolfe and Timothy Hutton as Archie Goodwin, et al. So, after a hiatus of several years, I got a hold of And Be a Villain and liked it, so I decided to get them all so I could read them in order (from 1934 to 1975).

This one is number 8, from 1940, Where There's a Will. The looming mentions of "the war in Europe" pervade this story, and one character is connected to Germany, and you are supposed to think he's sinister. In this one, Wolfe once again breaks the supposedly cardinal rule that he never leaves the brownstone. It's another rich family with rich connections and rich problems. Here a will, a mistress, an actress, a country estate, some butlers, etc. A decent entry in the series and a decent mystery story. Not the best of the ones I've read, but not the worst. ( )

I put the 1938-39 edition of Who’s Who in America, open, on the leaf of my desk, because it was getting too heavy to hold on a hot day.
