Robert Goldsborough: Death on deadline (1988, Bantam Books)

Review of 'Death on deadline' on 'Goodreads'

I am finally getting around to reading this book after two false starts (books that were available from the library). I am a big fan of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe series and having read all the books (I think), I decided to move on to Robert Goldsborough's continuation of the series.

This time, a Rupert Murdock-type character wants to take over Lon's Gazette and Nero is determined to stop him (it helps that the Murdock-character's ex wife actually hires Nero for the job).

You don't really find out a lot about the newspaper business but it's still a good read with great characters. And the ending was, as Nero would say, "satisfactory."
