IN-PERSON BOOK DISCUSSION IN NEW YORK ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2025
For our New York Metro Area members, our next in-person book discussion will held on Monday, November 17, 2025 at a restaurant in midtown Manhattan (specific location to be announced — suggestions for suitable locations are welcome).
We will be discussing the Nero Wolfe novel The Second Confession (1949). This is the second of the three novels featuring Mr. Wolfe’s arch-nemesis Arnold Zeck, and is also a fine mystery in its own right.
Prepayment is not necessary, but if you plan to attend, please let us know by e-mailing werowance -at- nerowolfe.org so we can give the restaurant a headcount. We hope to see many of you there!
UPCOMING VIRTUAL BOOK DISCUSSION ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2025
The Wolfe Pack also continues to hold bimonthly online book discussions via Zoom. The next one will be held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. We will be discussing the Nero Wolfe novel Champagne for One (1958).
These online book discussions are open to paid Wolfe Pack members only. There is no fee, but advance registration is required, and the number of attendees is limited. If you are a Wolfe Pack member, you should be receiving our monthly newsletters with details and registration information for book discussions and other events.
