Rex Stout Audio Books on Tape and CD

Rex Stout's irascible, brilliant, agoraphobic, orchid-growing mysogynist detective, Nero Wolfe, hates to work. He'd rather spend his time holed up in his genteel Manhattan brownstone on West 35th Street tending his thousands of orchids -- and appreciating the magnificent meals prepared for him by his chef, Fritz.

He has to make a living somehow, though, and that's where his smart-aleck assistant, Archie Goodwin, comes in. This wise guy likes work -- and women -- just fine. Between the two of them, they manage to annoy one another and solve enough crimes, pleasing just enough clients to pay for their great meals and those stunning orchids.

Two movies and numerous television series (most recently the A&E specials starring Maury Chaykin and Timothy Hutton) have been devoted to the cases this lazy genius has solved, most without leaving his house.

We invite you to peruse our selection of audiobooks featuring Wolfe and Archie in their most exciting, amusing, and dangerous cases. Sit back with a glass of milk or a plate full of braised duckling stuffed with crabmeat -- and listen!
