Show Notes

Merry Christmas! It’s time for another visit from our favorite fat man, Nero Wolfe! Legendary actor Sydney Greenstreet brought Rex Stout’s famous detective to life throughout The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe! In this episode, “The Case of the Slaughtered Santas,” Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin are called upon to solve a series of murders in which all the victims share a distinctive occupation! Why would someone want to kill a series of Saint Nicks? Is this the work of a madman or is it laying the groundwork for a bank robbery? How can you tell if a person is a "theatrical"? Listen for yourself and find out!
