Mystery

McNally's Trial is a sequel book about Discreet Inquiror, Archy McNally. Archy is a bon vivant playboy who investigates for his father's clients. This time he is approached because a client's funeral homes are making too much money.

There are the requisite slime balls,beautiful women and rich folk. Archy, this time takes on an unpaid assistant,Binky. Binky is a dolt who somehow manages to help and not deep six the investigation.

Sanders actually had me wondering for a while with this one. One can not help but like Arch, rogue that he is and smile at some of the situations he finds himself in.

McNally's Caper

McNally's Caper by Lawrence Sanders
Mystery

From the Editors
Palm Beach sleuth Archy McNally gets caught up in the sordid family affairs of the Forsythe Clan when he's hired to find out who's stealing valuables--including a priceless first edition of Edgar Allan Poe--from their mansion. Behind every door is a suspect; in every bed, a seductress. And a murderer is hiding just around the corner. . . .

I do so love Archy McNally. But I am so glad I am not his girlfriend or parent. How frustrating that would be HAHA. This book starts off with some stolen goods of the Forsythes. The Forsythes are as loony as they come. Who is the thief? Of course it must be a family member; wife, son, daugther-in-law or daugther. The woman in the family try to seduce Archy and Archy sure doesn't resist too much. When the patriarch gets murdered everyone is a suspect. There are some real relationship tangles in the book and a lot of good laughs

McNally's Luck

McNally's Luck by Lawrence Sanders
Mystery

This sequel was ever bit as funny and readable as the first book. I really enjoy Archy McNally. His irreverence and eccentricity just makes each page turnable. Archy is a son of a prominent Palm Beach lawyer. His job is to handle discrete investigations. He is to find a pampered cat. Then the bodies start piling up. A cozy mystery well worth the read
Favourite Character: Archy McNally. I love this rich playboy turned detective
Least Favourite Character: all the rich B****'s . The females seem to be flawed. Every single one of them
Best Part of the Book: When Archy and the police figure out how the bad guys will pay
Least Favourite Part of the book: What Archy buys for Consuela because he has been inattentive. Kick him to the curb, baby
What was missing: nothing
