McNally’s Trial

“Here is the fifth outing for Archibald ‘Archy’ McNally, the playboy son of and private investigator for prestigious Palm Beach attorney Prescott McNally…The fun here isn’t in the plot; it’s in Archy’s descriptions of life among the monied classes. Whether he is describing the sumptuous meals served at least twice a day in the McNally manse or the joys of tooling around southern Florida in a fire-engine-red Miata, Archy demonstrates such an eye for the telling detail and such obvious joie de vivre that the reader can only be amused by his upper-crust ostentation. The novel also boasts a delightful assembly of supporting characters, especially Archy’s pal, the totally dissolute, utterly inept would-be detective Binky Watrous. A pleasant diversion from the bestselling author of the Ten Commandments mystery series.”
