This review is from: McNally's Luck (Archy McNally) (Mass Market Paperback)

Archy McNally is a charming rogue. He's the son of a wealthy attorney, but is self-deprecating and doesn't take himself too seriously. He is asked to find a cat who belongs to one of Archy's father's wealthy clients and who has been catnapped, complete with ransom note and a demand for money. Later, another client is murdered and Archy suspects that the two cases are connected. He does some discreet inquiry and becomes entangled with a friendly female and an eccentric psychic. These elements cause no end of complications to Archy, both personally and professionally, and he finds himself in big trouble before the case is solved. This is a light and enjoyable read and will provide the reader with a lot of chuckles.

4.0 out of 5 stars A hilarious, fun-witted whodunit!, June 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: McNally's Luck (Archy McNally) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm an avid Archibald McNally fan and McNally's Luck is another fine example of Lawrence Sanders' wit, sense of humor and clever mystery writing. It's sad Mr. Sanders has passed away and we can no longer look forward to his delightful McNally books.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Debonair Dick, January 4, 2001

This review is from: McNally's Secret (Archy McNally Novels) (Audio Cassette)

Man this cat is suave. I purchased the "book on tape"version and listened to it going to and from my job and while runningerrands. Completed 2 tapes in 3 days. I especially focused mythoughts on Archie's wit and behaviour. The one liners aregreat... The lifestyles of the people of Palm Beach, FL. are a far cryfrom Elian and ballot counting. Which supplied to me a refreshing newlook on characters and plot. I must say this book kept me glued to mycasette player and mindful of the story even while not listening.Recommend it to people 35+ yrs.
