5.0 out of 5 stars The McNally Connection, May 29, 2001

By 

Richard LoCascio - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hampton Connection (Hardcover)

I became aware of Vincent Lardo's writting when he took over for the deceased Lawrence Sanders and picked up the "Archie McNally" series. What I discovered was one of the genre greats and was truly gratifide by the way he continued the adventures of our beloved Archie without missing a beat. Being a long time Sanders fan I clenched my teeth with the words, "my God he's doing it even better". So I was not surprised when I read Mr. Lardo's first offering "The Hampton Affair" and thoroughly enjoyed it. With his new book, "The Hampton Connection" Lardo has out done himself. I simply could not put it down. Being a New Yorker and having spent some time in the Hamptons made it even more enjoyable. His characters are the real deal and if this kind of caper isn't actually happening there now then I'm sure it has in the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent Hamptons-whodunit!, May 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Hampton Connection (Hardcover)

Vincent Lardo's latest edition of the grisly side of the glitzy Hamptons had me on the edge of my seat. I hoped to enjoy this whodunit on the beach in the Hamptons this summer, but I just couldn't help myself. Lardo's familiarity with Long Island's East End, and its opulent inhabitants, adds a "richness" that makes the story even more inviting. The plot brings the reader through and to all the places that make the Hamptons such great fodder for the "Jockstrap Murders" of the world.

BRAVO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Second Hampton Mystery, May 24, 2001

By 

Val Antony (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hampton Connection (Hardcover)

Lardo's second Hampton mystery is as good as his first, THE HAMPTON AFFAIR, and in some ways better. I speak of the locked cottage mystery which keeps you guessing not only who done it but how it was done. The rich and handsome Michael Reo is back, as is Detective Eddy Evans and his girl, Helen. Added to these regulars we have Lieutenant Christopher Oliveri (Eddy's boss), Paul Monroe, the underwear model whose posters are famous, some say infamous, Bill Ryan, the Montauk fisherman turned actor, his girl Lisa, and a grand and gaudy cast of East Hampton summer folks to keep you turning pages. Cocaine smugglers, a locked room murder, glitzy parties and gossip make it the summer read of the year. Lardo knows the Hamptons and tells all...well, almost all. A great read.
