Madly in love in a manly, platonic, swinging-forties sort of way, you mean? With orchids and declarations of love that are more "Archie. I submit to circumstances. So should you."? (And not in a gushy "I wuv you" way, or in a "Archie, I am your father" sort of way? Because ... no.)

I think it is one of the longer ones, yes. And all fresh! and new! and exciting!

Btw, you know remember Dol Bonner, the female detective Wolfe uses sometimes? She's got a book of her own, which I found at (where else) the library book sale and have now read. Not bad, although odd -- female protagonist and all. You can borrow, if you like. Also I have Red Threads, the one with Cramer as the main character, and The President Vanishes, the one with nobody we know in and with the president being kidnapped.
