I think I set the bar a bit lower than you and tend to regard maybe 140 as the boundary and anything over as a novel. Thanks for the reminder of Nero Wolfe - I have yet to be introduced to him in my reading and ought to try at least one. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-42001263944403800512019-04-01T20:41:22.595-07:002019-04-01T20:41:22.595-07:00Have not read a novella for what must be 30 years....Have not read a novella for what must be 30 years. I read a lot of Nero Wolfe at that time and some stories were in that format. Now I think of a novella as any work of crime fiction under 200 pages.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-55315879074340153272019-04-01T05:43:25.344-07:002019-04-01T05:43:25.344-07:00Thanks, Margot.

And I can see how that could lead in any number of directions. Sounds as though it has some interesting characters, too. I'm glad you enjoyed it.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
