"Great story, clear and generally believable. Archy can be pretty tough on Binky, he puts him down a lot. I wish Archy didn't dress like such a metrosexual/gay, I wish he didn't smoke and his eating habits are beyond me. Other than that, he's my idol. Well, I'm glad I don't live with my parents, too."

“Fun, enjoyable, witty.”
— San Antonio Express-News" Light, easy, enjoyable reading. McNally reminds me a bit of the tv character Frazier. "
— Linda, 1/12/2014" I didn't care for the characters and the puzzel wasn't as mysterious as the author seemed to think. "
— Cindy, 1/10/2014" A bird-brained murder case, and Archy gets a dog "
— Maurean, 12/31/2013" I've determined that although I like Lawrence Sanders' books in general, I'm not a big fan of the McNally series. This is probably the last McNally novel I will read. "
— Ross, 12/21/2013" Originals much better.latest redundant, trite, and frankly annoying "
— Davidette, 11/21/2013" Any of the books in the McNally series is great. Pick one you can't go wrong. "
— Scott, 11/16/2013" I work in a fake office. There are books in it as props. One day I got bored and read one of the props. It was mostly stupid and I can't believe that McNally is as popular a character as he is. "
— Benjamin, 10/4/2013" This book was very good. It kept my attention well. The style was very different and I had to pay attention. It took me a long time to read it, not because I wasn't interested, but I had a lot going on. I liked the relationship between the father and son. I loved the new pet, HOBO, the hero!! "
— Virginia, 8/16/2013" Terrible and somehow charming. Reads like it was written by Sebastian Flyte, or Aloysius. "
— John, 4/24/2013" Very Good; Continuing character: Archy McNally and family; search for murderer of parrot store proprietor "
— Joe, 4/5/2013" I couldn't wait to read this because my husband laughed out loud the whole time he was reading. What a disappointment. Protagonist lives with his parents and is very self obsessed. I couldn't wait to be done with the book. I won't bother to read another of this series. "
— Eileen, 2/17/2013" Archy McNally is back, the spoiled playboy of South Florida who seems to solve mysteries in spite of himself and his inept sidekick Binky. I did say they were the spoiled rich of the Florida coast. What I learned is that nobody can actually talk and dress like they do and live in the real world. "
— Ginny, 11/8/2012" Just a fun read. And I can see why Mrs. McNally adores her son and Mr. McNally is tried by Archy on a daily basis. "
— Judy, 10/4/2012" Abridged audio book I got in the proverbial library book sale. Enjoyable listening in the car. I'm not sure an unabridged version would have been any better. "
— Linda, 7/14/2012" Archy McNally rocks! I love the way this series has been written - the wit is super and the language pretty darn good. "
— Shishir, 9/7/2011" The McNally series is always a treat. I have read almost every book, and still trying to find a couple. Also listened to a few on the audiobooks format, which fulfilled my imagine of Archy. "
— Beverly, 8/29/2011" I work in a fake office. There are books in it as props. One day I got bored and read one of the props. It was mostly stupid and I can't believe that McNally is as popular a character as he is. "
