Loading... McNally's Dilemmaby Lawrence Sanders
None. A light hearted mystery set in ultra-rich Palm Bead involving a murdered bigamist, a mother-daughter conspiracy and the son sleuth who solves the dilemma. ( )Vincent Lardo, writing as Lawrence Sanders, produces a story that doesn't fail to please fans of Sanders' Archie McNally. An old friend phones Archie at midnight to ask for help--she has just shot her no-good husband, who is now lying naked on the floor of the solarium. Archie is prevailed upon to help shield the woman's lovely young daughter from the harsh investigation and the vicious publicity resulting from the killing. Archie's wit and the hilarious dialogues kept me entertained through to the surprising, twisted end. 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 interesting slant to McNally, but his style of writing wasn't the same as Mr. Sanders. For the first time, it was clear how the story would evolve, and that's another indication that Lawrence Sanders did not write this book. In my opinion, Mr. Sanders name should not be on the cover, for it's a total disservice to the legacy of this great writer. Typical hardboiled PI genre with a few twists. no reviews | add a review
