#List of archy mcnally books series
Over all - from what I've read so far, I'd recommend this series to anyone who likes fun, slightly fluffy, but genuine mysteries. It's possible that my patience for some of this will run out before the books do, but I doubt it - I'm pretty forgiving if the mystery is good. I'm about done hearing that Archy's father has his telephone books bound in leather.
I'm on the third one now, and I'm still enjoying the series (I've been inspired to try several new cocktails) - but I will say, it's taught me a lesson in not belaboring those little details. He also generally trips across a body or two in the process. He handles all those unusual requests, and generally solves problems. Archy is the head (and sole employee) of the Department for Discreet Inquiries. The elder McNally is a lawyer with a stable of insanely wealthy clients who often make unusual demands of him. His family is reasonably wealthy, and he occupies a suite of rooms on the third floor of his parents house. It's got everything I love: A great main character, fun sidekick, colorful guest characters, good mystery, interesting detective work, and a lot of little details that bring Archy to life.Īrchy is a 37 year old bachelor who lives in Palm Beach, Florida. McNally's Secret is the first book of the series, and I'll tell you, I was hooked. The series turned out to be the Archy McNally series, by Lawrence Sanders (and later, Vincent Lardo) After that, it was pretty easy to track down, thanks to the internet. He just knew he'd read these great books once upon a time.įinally, over Labor Day weekend, he finally remembered "McNally". He's been telling me about this series for AGES - how much he loved it, how funny it was, how much he liked the main character.the only thing he couldn't tell me was the name of the author, the titles of the series, or the name of the main character. Parker, Rex Stout, John Sandford, Sue Grafton, and others. My dad shares my same love of series mystery, and we're both big fans of Robert B.
I'd be curious to know if anyone reading has already heard of these books, and what you think. I have a fun new discovery - new to me anyway.
