review 1: Years ago I read all the Rex Stout novels about Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. I really enjoyed them. This was 2 short stories published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine in 2009. Good old-fashioned detective stories with lots of similarities to the Nero Wolfe novels; these take place in the current day. There is also a full length novel featuring Julius Katz and Archie which I have added to my to read list.
review 2: Great fun mysteries in the Sherlock Holmes and Watson model, but set in the almost-plausible near future. The stories are told from the viewpoint of the loyal sidekick, in this case a cutting-edge AI PA called Archie. The detective is the cool and clever Katz, a man of great intellect, dedicated to a life of pleasure (mainly in the form of fine foo... mored and wine), with as little work as possible. On the side, he keeps fit and maintains formidable martial arts skills. The police, of course, are bumbling and the perpetrators, of course, are fairly predictable if you know what to look for in the narrative flow, but that makes it no less fun. There are only two stories in this little package - I hope for more soon. less
