Too Many Cooks
Book •
Too Many Cooks is a Nero Wolfe mystery by Rex Stout.
The case begins when the brilliant but reclusive detective Wolfe travels away from home to attend a gathering of distinguished chefs.
When one of the guests is murdered, Wolfe must investigate a closed circle of rivals, resentments, and secrets.
The novel combines classic puzzle-mystery conventions with humor, eccentric characterization, and commentary on American social attitudes.
The podcast mentions it while distinguishing its racist treatment from Twain’s more complex, historically embedded confrontation with racism in Huckleberry Finn.
