Curtains for Three by Rex Stout
I don’t know if Rex Stout happened to write a lot of Nero Wolfe short stories or if that’s just what my grandmother preferred to buy. Either way, I’ve read way too many “Three” collections along these lines. Curtains for Three is much the same as the rest of them. If you like these characters, I suppose you’ll like the stories. The first one is obvious, the second overly simple for the amount of effort invested in it, and the third one is hopelessly contrived. They are, however, exactly the right length for a single-sitting reading.
