Before Midnight (Nero Wolfe)
2 journalers for this copy...

This book was rescued at the end of the annual Friends of the Library book sale. Unsold books are thrown out, so I take the whole lot and pass them on through BookCrossing instead!
Book Description:
Cheaters never prosper, but Nero Wolfe encounters one who kills trying. At the Pour Amour perfume riddle contest, a million dollars goes to the contestant who can answer five questions. Someone doesn't like the heat of competition, so he murders the contest founder and steals the answers to the riddles. Now Wolfe has to sniff down a trail of clues that leads disturbingly close to home.

Although I LOVE the Nero Wolfe books this one was not one of my favorites. It was filled with characters that were hard to keep straight and the ending seemed somewhat contrived.
