by Rex Stout (1940)

I believe Where There's a Will is by far the worst Nero Wolfe novel out of the 33 written by Rex Stout. I found it excruciatingly boring and tedious – lacking any moment of wit or surprise. And I'm not alone among Nero Wolfe fans in this assessment! However, there are some Nero Wolfe fans, such as Ms_S_Snape, who think that even Where There's a Will is brilliant...

I was unable to select a single memorable quotation from this book. So, here's a chance for the fans of this particular Wolfe yarn to put up quotations from that story in order to persuade the rest of us of its qualities...
