jbleyle63's review against another edition
4.0
I am willing to admit that Zeltserman's Julius Katz stories probably have greater appeal to avid readers of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe from which they are inspired, but these stories are so much better than mere pastiches.

Very enjoyable collection of short stories
Zeltserman is a new author to me and I am so delighted I found him. This collection of previously published short stories and a new novella do a great job introducing Julius and Archie and set a rhythm of the story arcs. The stories are reminiscent of many of the great whodunit detective stories based entirely on instinct and understanding human nature. I was most reminded of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Any fan of Arthur Conan Doyle or Christie will enjoy these characters.
