The key element in this Nero Wolfe is him not only leaving his brownstone but going to the land of his birth-Montenegro. Unfortunately, this doesn't create excitement or an exotic scenario, but instead bogs the story down in unfamiliar situations requiring explanation and foreign language necessitating translation. It isn't terrible, but it's not great either.
