- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53 STARSThis was a good mystery it kept me guessing. I really did not connect with any of the characters. Thats probably just me. Every character has good faults but mostly bad qualities stuck out for me. This is a clean read.Archy works for his father a lawyer in Florida. He is sent into find out about a clients missing US. Stamps that had been stolen.Her safe was not locked. Lady Cynthia Horowitz has been married six times and the stamps were part of a divorce settlement. A simalar set sold for a million dollars. Lady Cynthia is not a likeable person.Most of the suspects are not either. While Archy is trying to discover if the stamps have been up for sale he finds a body. Now instead of just a theft their is a murder connected to it.Archy keeps a lot of secrets from the police. His girl friend is thinking about her ex who gambles and just got out of prison.Archy does not tell her what information he has about him. He wants him to be part of theft of the stamps.Archy finds out a secret about his father but does not let him know that he knows either.I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review of it by Netgalley.03/12/2013 PUB Open Road Integrated Media
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a quick, enjoyable read. The main character is a likable rake. The other characters are all interesting and the story has enough twists to keep you going. I'll be interested to read more of the series and see where it goes.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I wish I could spin a good story as well as Sanders. An easy read -- light, fun. This is desert!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The first seven books in the McNally series are charming piffle, just great for totally escapist reading. They were recommended to me by a dear friend this summer, when I was going through a difficult (and time consuming) time. All I wanted out of a book was diversion and distraction, and McNally provided it. That's just the first seven books, however ------- but let's ignore that warning note, and move ahead.The Archie McNally series was created by Lawrence Sanders, who wrote many other crime novels and at least two other series. The McNally series, which he began late in his career, is said to be lighter and less violent than his other work: not having read his other work, I can't say, but the series is certainly light. The protagonist, Archie McNally, is the son of a Palm Beach lawyer, but is not himself a lawyer, having been kicked out of Yale Law for streaking. But he does work with his father, as the "Discreet Enquiries" department of his father's law firm. The enquiries involve the socially prominent and financially well heeled population of Palm Beach, where Archie is a fixture among the younger set. He is also a confirmed bachelor (because he likes his freedom), relentless womanizer (because he likes women), fop of the first order, and foodie of the first degree. And he is definitely an eccentric by today's standards -- he lives (quite happily) with Mum and Dad, and doesn't seem to mind in the least not being a roaring sucess. The mood is cheerful, the dialogue brisk, and the general ambiance somewhat Wodehousian. This first novel in the series centers on the affairs (and assets) of Lady Cynthia Horowitz. Said plot thickens satisfactorily, and keeps the reader bobbing along at a respectable level of interest. Not great literature, but good fun.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I received a copy of this book from Open Road Media and Netgalley.This is a re-issue of the first in the popular McNally mystery series by Lawrence Sanders.I had not read any of these books, but have read Lawrence Sanders before. Archy McNally lives in Palm Beach, works for his father, a prominent attorney. Archy still lives at home and is a notorious womanizer.But, he has just met a woman that could change all that. However, his father has a job for him. The infamous Lady Horowitz has been robbed of a very rare collection of stamps worth around a quarter of a million dollars. She doesn't want to cops involved so Archy is to ask around discreetly. His inquiries lead to murder. Archy finds himself in over his head in his love life and professional life.This is a good start for the series. The humor is dry and the parody of Palm Beach high society is hilarious. But, the story was a little "wordy". There wasn't a great deal of action and we spent a little too much time on Archy's personal life than on the mystery. It was an enjoyable read.
