Killer Pages: Nero Wolfe's Murder by the Book | A Nero Wolfe Mystery

Step into the orchid-scented intrigue of Nero Wolfe's West 35th Street brownstone in this pulse-pounding adaptation of Rex Stout's "Murder by the Book," where a literary critic's savage review turns into a real-life killing spree. When a prominent book reviewer is found bludgeoned to death in his apartment, his skull smashed by a heavy tome from his own shelves, the literary world erupts in scandal. Hired by a desperate publisher to clear a suspect author's name, the reclusive genius detective Nero Wolfe refuses to budge from his armchair, dispatching the wisecracking Archie Goodwin to sift through a viper's nest of jealous writers, vengeful editors, and hidden grudges in New York's cutthroat publishing scene. Starring William Conrad as the immovable, beer-loving sleuth and Lee Horsley as the street-smart Archie, this 1981 episode crackles with Rex Stout's razor-sharp wit, clever misdirection, and a shocking twist that flips the pages of deception. As alibis unravel like plot holes and motives bleed like red ink, will Wolfe's "little grey cells" bind the killer before another bestseller becomes a bloodletter? Relive the suspense in this full episode of golden age detective mastery!
