Mother Hunt (Crime Line): 38 (Nero Wolfe)

Product Information

The Mother Hunt was adapted for the second season of the A&E TV series A Nero Wolfe Mystery (2001–2002). Written by Sharon Elizabeth Doyle, "Motherhunt" made its debut in two one-hour episodes airing May 12 and 19, 2002, on A&E. The direction is credited to Alan Smithee. [4] I read my first Nero Wolfe mystery, "Murder by the Book", in translation into my native language, about 1970 or so. I liked it a lot, so when I came to the U.S. I was eager to read other books by Rex Stout. I believe I managed to read all 46 of them between the early Eighties and the mid-Nineties. At that time I was still able to read mystery series. Now I dislike series, but I decided to reread two or three novels in the Nero Wolfe series, just to see whether and how my reception of Mr. Stout's work has changed over time. The first book to reread, randomly selected, is "The Mother Hunt" (1963). As they grow up, their urge to hunt continues to develop. Many owners will see their cats hunting or stalking and sometimes they might even bring you (usually unwanted) ‘presents’ of their prey.

Book club editions are bound in cardboard, and first editions are bound in cloth (or have at least a cloth spine). [10] Book club editions are sometimes thinner and always taller (usually a quarter of an inch) than first editions. What is it about Nero Wolfe, the food-loving and orchid-fancying misogynist, that draws the most attractive, wealthy, and desperate females to his office? Could it possibly be his leg-man, Archie Goodwin? Archie, at least, is in for another reward in this latest of Nero's cases, and reader who have followed Archie's hairbreadth escapes from entrapment in the past will be left wondering at the end of this one. But not about who is guilty of the murders that follow Lucy Valdon's first visit to West 35th Street. It's a matter of maternity that brings her, and the trail that is blazed by a few handmade horsehair buttons has the rare effect of leading Nero out of his habitat and forcing him to set up shop outside. But a passion for the sweet, spicy notes of rum led them down a route they had never previously seen themselves heading – but what an adventure they now find themselves on.The second is that cats see us as part of their social group. Families and groups of cats will share the success of their hunt and try to teach hunting skills to the other cats. Our pets often extend this to their humans.

Lucy Valdon has recently been widowed by the accidental death of her husband, the novelist Richard Valdon. Lucy has a surprise waiting for her in her vestibule one evening: an abandoned baby, dressed, with a note pinned to a blanket. The note claims that the baby is Richard's son. Lucy wants to learn who the mother is. That information would help determine whether her husband and the mother had been intimate, and therefore the likelihood that the child is in fact Richard's.

Mr Hunt, who has a younger brother Charlie, said: "Well I was only two-years-old so it's not something I have any memories of. I very much enjoyed this one! A widow finds a baby, a few months old, in the vestibule of her home. A note pinned to the blanket states the baby is the offspring of her late husband. She hires Wolfe to determine who is the baby’s mother, and if actually was fathered by her husband. As a reader who thinks he and Lily Rowan (NOT featured in any way in this novel) are a well-matched pair, it was interesting to contemplate Archie involved in any way with another "eligible" woman. So, that aspect of the book intrigued me more than the mystery itself (which got a bit tiresome at times).We’re hoping to create seasonal spiced rums every year to reflect people’s changing tastes and desires and we’re currently developing the spring spiced rum. In general, I prefer the earlier books in the series because I like the period charm of New York in the forties and early fifties--but, this book had some particular interest to me because it featured an actual romance between Archie Goodwin and a current client. Not a flirtation, not just "admiration," but a romantic relationship. I didn't get a good sense of the woman's personality --- at least not enough to understand her attraction to Archie--but, I was intrigued by the concept of him engaging with a client in this (unprofessional ?) manner. During his ITV show last night ITV's political editor Robert Peston said to Mr Hunt: "Rather extraordinary about your childhood, which I was completely unaware of, which is that you had a baby sister who tragically died, could you just tell me a little bit about what that was?" Crouching low to the ground and then stalking (this could include stopping several times or freezing with one paw in the air). Once they are close, they will leap ’prey’. Feeding your cat the appropriate amount of a good quality complete food will keep them healthy and happy and may reduce their urge to hunt.

Nothing corrupts a man so deeply as writing a book; the myriad temptations are overwhelming." (p.59)
