Publisher Description
A murderous maze of sun-drenched scandal…
When elegant, drop-dead gorgeous Theodosia Johnson steps ashore in Palm Beach, even the most jaded roving eyes stop to notice. Sophisticated champagne heir Chauncy Wilson Sackville-Hersforth is equally enchanted by this mysterious beauty, but when he proposes marriage to her, Chauncy's mother isn't nearly so impressed.
Archy McNally, the brilliant, blithe-spirited hero of McNally's Luck and McNally's Secret, returns to unravel the puzzle surrounding Miss Johnson. However, he too falls under her romantic spell … and bodies begin to appear like uninvited guests at a poolside dinner party.
Shocking, swank, and more fun than a weekend in Palm Beach, McNally's Risk is full of sure-fire suspense that only Lawrence Sanders can deliver.

"What can't you love about these books - the food descriptions alone are enough to keep me reading. I listened to this one on a road trip and was surprised at the voiced they used for Archie. He was actually masculine. "

“Its quick pace and vocal clarity make this tale of murder and money easy and enjoyable to follow. In a light, jaunty baritone Boyd Gaines captures the light-hearted Archy McNally…The variety in Gaines’ delivery enables the listener to identify the characters quickly and to delight in the details of Palm Beach society.”

" Archy McNally is Palm Beach's snob, satiric observer and sleuth. This is a fine summer read. Fast, funny and with just enough plot. "

" Just plain fun. Fun, fun, fun. To all you wanna be critics out there, lighten up! This is not Shakespeare; it's Sanders. "
— John, 6/7/2010 -
" Another enjoyable McNally book. If it weren't for the bizarre vocabulary and attire, I'd be just like McNally. These are fun, non-detective detective books. "
