Another theme is human nature. Stout often explores the motives and behaviors of the people involved in the crimes. He shows how greed, jealousy, or revenge can drive people to commit immoral acts. His stories not only focus on the 'whodunit' aspect but also on why the characters act the way they do, which makes his short stories more than just simple mystery tales.
One highlight could be the complex character of Nero Wolfe. His unique personality, with his love for food and his brilliant deductive mind, makes the novels engaging. Also, Rex Stout's writing style is often praised for its vivid descriptions and well - crafted mysteries.
