This review is from: Mcnallys Dare (Hardcover)

I have read all of the McNally stories and almost all of Mr. Sanders novels. I believe that Mr. Lardo has done a marvelous job of picking up where Sanders left off. To those who don't see it that way, so be it! Just wish you could open up your minds a bit and allow yourself to keep enjoying these wonderful stories. Dare is highly entertaining if a bit busy. It keeps one guessing about who really "done it" throughout the story. Archy's panache and his love of fine food is strangely comforting and all said and done, these stories are like an old friend, and good company to boot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not particularly great., Feb 3 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mcnallys Dare (Hardcover)

McNally is in rare form in this particular novel. It will stand the test of time in its own right and will probably stand with "McNally's Chance" as the two best entry's to be contributed by Lardo to the McNally lexicon. But don't count on it winning any of the awards given to mystery writers by their peers.

This review is from: Mcnallys Dare (Hardcover)

i just finished mcnally's dare this week. i have read all the books in this series and all of lawrence sanders work. this book has lardo writing more in his own style, rather than that of sanders. it seems to me that he is not quite the same as sanders in description writing, however he has done a fine job of plot and carry through. i will forever miss the vivid and textured descriptions that sanders gave the reader, and fervently hope that lardo will keep archy dressing with savvy and eating the fabulous concoctions by ursi at the mcnally manse and the pettibones at the infamous pelican club

5.0 out of 5 stars Nailed It!
Vince really nailed it with Dare! Writing, plots, and character exposure were right on the money. Unlike some of the earlier efforts, there were no dead spots in this... Read more
