by Author Vincent Lardo
McNally's Folly (2001)
McNally lives at home, in a separate garage apartment, shares cocktail hour with mater and pater, tries to be faithful but falls for buxom beauties, enjoys the specialties at his local yacht club/ bar. His fashion sense would match a striped lime green beret to cherry red polkadot tie over lilac ...
McNally's Risk (1994)
Archy McNally is at it again. Sent by his father to investigate what appears to be a simple situation -- a rich, socialite client wants the woman her son wants to marry investigated. Of course it becomes much more than that as murders start to occur. Can the seemingly unrelated murders be rela...
McNally's Luck (1993)
I have a whole series of books about McNally. Im not sure which one in the series this is. Im not sure you have to read them in the order they were written. I believe each story (book) stands by itself. Archy McNally works as a private investigator for his father's law firm. I know Ive read ...
McNally's Secret (1993)
Let's go back about a quarter of a century to THAT Palm Beach, Florida -- The one that Donald Trump was so anxious to be accepted into. Then, there was still a lot of the old money around and the need to fit in to a society that recently rich could only aspire to. This is where McNally & Son ha...
McNally's Bluff (2005)
Pretty lame. The one thing it had going for it, a fairly novel murder mystery involving a carnival madame winding up dead in the middle of a hedge maze, is pretty much nullified by all of its weaker aspects, especially the plotting. My case in point: When I read a mystery, I want to read about th...
McNally's Trial (1995)
It’s pretty hard not to love a book that throws in such uncommon words such as hirsute, acumen, trichologist, inamorata, prolixity, and characters who confuse the Nutcracker with the famous Christmas ballet the Ballbreaker.” Archy McNally is sort of an American Jeeves, and I can envision Da...
McNally's Dare (2004)
Fun entry in McNally series, murder and imposters (?) galore...Vince Lardo is now up to his fifth in the 12-book Archy McNally --"Discreet Inquirer" to the rich and famous in Palm Beach -- series originated by Laurence Sanders. His mostly credible continuation of the lead character still pleases,...
McNally's Caper (1995)
Number 4 in the series. I have been reading it for a few weeks in between my turn while bowling. Decided today to finally finish it, so a 2 book day. Archy McNally is one of the funniest characters to be the hero of a mystery series. He plays dumb, dresses loudly, is constantly unfaithful to his ...
McNally's Puzzle (1997)
Bird store owner Hiram Gottschalk is a wealthy widower with a paranoid son and heir, twisted twin daughters, and shady employees. As the owner of Parrots Unlimited, Hiram believes that his life is in danger, so he hires playboy-turned-Palm Beach private investigator Archy McNally and his sidekick...
McNally's Chance (2002)
(view spoiler)[I found this story interesting mostly because of what I think it did wrong rather than what it did right. The plot was fairly interesting, dealing with a woman who convinced three different men that they were the father of her child and essentially blackmailed child support out of ...
McNally's Alibi (2002)
A deficit of plot starves out the usual Archy McNally fun...We'll start by admitting we have immensely enjoyed the ten prior novels in the Archy McNally series - including the seven written by (or at least during the lifetime of) Lawrence Sanders, and the three prior to this one by Vincent Pardo ...
McNally's Gamble (1998)
Lawrence Sanders rates as one of my all-time favourite detective story writers. The entire McNally canon just oozes with all the things that makes a good crime pot-boiler - dastardly and clever crime, beautiful women, and a wonderfully authentic urban setting. Glamour, glitz, girls and gore, in o...
McNally's Dilemma (2000)
So So McNally story It was only by reading the fine print that I learned that this novel was Not by Lawrence Sanders. For me Archy McNally will always remain the creation of Mr. Sanders, but I wanted to read another story about one of my favorite characters. The attempt by Vincent Lardo gave an i...
