Nice overview of the Nero Wolfe books by Rex Stout.

The following ten Nero Wolfe novels define the idiom. They are a ritualized blend of comic and tragic: middlebrow entertainment aspiring to something greater. This era of the corpus is powered by the author’s naive post-war American optimism, and ends just as the stormiest currents of the ’60s begin. Each volume is a flawless blast of escapism, a welcome dish of comfort food when one feels battered by the elements.
