3.0�toiles sur 5 Amusing, Jui 7 2004

Par	Erika Mitchell (E. Calais, VT USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: McNally's Puzzle (Audio Cassette)

This is an Archy McNally murder mystery. It follows Archy's investigation of threats to Hiram Gottschalk, one of his father's Palm Beach legal clients. Archy himself is a light-hearted socialite, who describes characters first by the labels on their clothing. Archy works on his investigation mainly by wining and dining the suspects at parties and clubs, and manages to discover who is behind Gottshalk's eventual murder without working up a sweat.

Archy's character, with his unrelenting focus on fashion and the finer things of life, makes the book rather amusing. However, the story isn't entirely believable, since Archy, is of course, able to dictate to the bad guys where and when he will confront them. These weaknesses aside, the book makes an enjoyable light read.

3.0�toiles sur 5 substandard, but good comical caper, Avril 13 2004

Par	Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Mcnallys Puzzle (Mass Market Paperback)

I say substandard only because Lawrence Sanders' standards are very high. This caper involving the death of a bird shop owner is not terribly intriguing. Too much effort is made to describe gourmet meals, and not enough crime drama is presented in this tale. Silly Binky Watrous gets a girlfriend and a new career entertaining geriatrics, while Archy deals with airhead twins, a pothead son, and a very shady pet shop manager. I found this the most burdensome of several McNally books to read.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Interesting if you are into being zany., Nov. 30 2003

Par Un client

This review is from: Mcnallys Puzzle (Hardcover)

To read through this series like a number of us currently are, one has to suspend any intentions they have of being steeped in serious detective work. Archy doen't take himself seriously.

Read this book to be lightly entertained and slightly amused. Otherwise go read something else.
