5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it just to watch Wolfe 'feeling rancor...', 4 May 2005
By Michele L. Worley (Kingdom of the Mouse, United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This edition now boasts "As Seen on TV!" on its cover, alluding to the fact that 1 (so far) of the 3 short stories herein has been adapted by A&E. Apart from Stephen Greenleaf's foreword and the afterword, the book is pure Stout.

All 3 are murder investigations.

"Eeny Meeny Murder Mo" - The A&E adaptation is faithful to the story, although it has a little extra trimming - specifically, A&E added a prologue, where Archie begins telling the story at the Thursday night poker game while Orrie is preparing to bet, as a bridge to the next A&E episode, "Disguise for Murder", which picks up with the poker game after Archie finishes the story.

Bertha Aaron, a valued employee of Otis, Edey, Heydecker, and Jett, fears to go to Otis with her problem because of his heart condition. She caught a member of the firm meeting secretly with the opposing client in a major case, confronted the offender, and doesn't know what to do. (She won't say which, hence the title of the story.) Unfortunately, the firm's client is Morton Sorrell, and the opposing client is his soon-to-be-ex wife Rita Ramsey Sorrell - a divorce case. And while Archie tries to persuade Wolfe that the divorce has nothing to do with Ms. Aaron's problem, somebody gets into the office and leaves her dead on the floor.

Strangled with one of Wolfe's neckties.

Oh, boy. :)

"Death of a Demon" - Lucy Hazen hires Wolfe just to hear her say, "That's the gun I'm not going to shoot my husband with." She wants a divorce, which he won't grant, and she hates him so much that she's taking this step to shake the idea - discussing in detail how much she's been obsessed lately with the idea of killing Hazen. Unfortunately, as Wolfe points out, this puts her in a bad position if (and as it turns out, when) somebody *else* shoots him.

Barry Hazen likes (or rather, liked) making people squirm. He was a PR guy who didn't seem to give value for money; as Theodore Weed, an employee who's fallen for Lucy, can confirm, he had clients who didn't need PR at all, or who had other firms provide PR for their businesses, but paid Hazen for 'personal publicity'. All of which begins to leave the aroma of a blackmailer who squeezed someone too hard, or too many times...

"Counterfeit for Murder" (a.k.a. "The Counterfeiter's Knife") - Alternate, older version of "Assault on a Brownstone" (see DEATH TIMES THREE). Hattie Annis in this version is an aging, unkempt woman rather than someone who'd attract Archie's fancy - that's the major difference.
