Asimov growing more and more in my estimation. In addition to great science fiction writer who we all know, the funny but good scientist whom many know, this book demonstrates the great capacity of crime writer. Already in other novels (such as "Caves of Steel," "The Naked Sun") was developed by Asimov "yellow" in science fiction, but in these stories is the setting of Blacks Widowers more classical, though not without a hint of irony.
A group of friends who want to meet away from their wives. They decide to create a club, the club for Widowers Blacks, in fact, whose meetings are held once a month, following a precise ritual.
For case, you start to talk about mysteries, then choose continue. This book collected 12 cases curious (not necessarily crimes), and the twist that I liked most about the method of investigation: no investigation, practical solutions and immediate result of the single deduction. Each case is quickly dashed in the essential , making stories very smooth and easy to read.
When I read the yellow, always takes me a lot to learn the characters, their roles, the relationships between them. In these stories left out that part is right, and he does not miss.
Further evidence of skill for one of my favorite writers.
Beautiful.
