In the Best Families by Rex Stout
4.0
This is the third in an unofficial trilogy of Rex Stout Novels - The Second Confession, And Be A Villain, and In the Best Families. All three feature, to some extent, a man named Zeck. I enjoyed all three of these books, and this one especially. It is one of the few Stout novels I can think of where, if you pay attention, you can probably figure out whodunnit before Wolfe tells you. It also features Archie in a different light from the usual fare.
Stout's novels are some of the few I don't feel compelled to read in order, but in this case it makes sense to do so. Don't read this unless you've read the other two.
