I was impressed with Lawrence Sander's tale "McNally's Risk". I found it to be a very fun, easy book to read. The story flowed throughout keeping my curiousity at its peak. I couldn't put it down until I finished it - which only took one day! I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series. I recommend this highly as fun, leisurely reading.

This is a reprint of the first three books in the Archic McNally series when the characters were still fresh. The characters wear a bit thin in some later books of the series. The main player is Archie McNally, a modern day Bertie Wooster, who carries out investigations for his father's Palm Beach law firm when he is not chasing women or hanging out at the Pelican Club. He has a taste for fine dining and fashionable clothes (but does not wear socks), and dashes about in his red Miata, mixing pleasure with work. His investigations bring him into contact with a broad spectrum of society, from the successful to the dysfunctional, old money, new money, and working stiffs. The plots and the various characters are well developed.

If you enjoy suspense mixed with a bit of humor, you will enjoy this compilation & its main character, McNally. These books are fun & easy to read. Recommend it for when you are seeking something not so heavy, but still want to be captivated & on your toes.
