McNally's Folly

McNally's Folly by Lawrence Sanders
Mystery

Desdemona Darling has arrived!! She is to be the star of the Palm Beach Community Theater's production of Arsenic and Old Lace. Archy has been coerced into directing. The cast and the crew are among Palm Beach's rich and famous.

At a cast party Desmonda's husband, Richard Holmes, sips some elderberry wine and drops dead. Now real life is imitating the play. Furthermore Richard had just asked Archy to find out who was blackmailing his wife. Now Archy must find out the real murderer among a cast of murderers.

I did not enjoy this one as much as the others but I will continue the series.

First Line: "What could be nicer than holding the hand of a beautiful young lady with the lights turned low?"
