"I find that all of the McNally books are perfect "palette cleansers". Any time that I finish heavy reading, I pick up one of the McNally mysteries and they never fail to amuse and ground me. " — Julie (5 out of 5 stars)

“[A] rousing good yarn.”
" Archy and Kinsey would make a great duo. "
" Reads like a classic murder mystery; sometimes it was hard to remember the setting was modern day Florida. Overall enjoyable, easy and fun to read. Archy is an suave and entertaining protagonist. "
" I don't know if I'll read anymore of these because I don't really like Archy McNally. I find him more aggrevating than charming. I know I'm in a minority. "
" The 1st of the series of Archy McNally novels by Sanders "
" My first Sanders book - a fun, easy read. "
" Smart and witty writing. I love the Archy character...will have to read more of these novels! "
" A fun read. Archy McNally is an appealing protagonist. "
" Read these at the behest of my brother-in-law. They were funny and enjoyable. "
" Archy McNally rocks! I love the way this series has been written - the wit is super and the language pretty darn good. "
" Good, campy writing style. Fun, hard-boiled feel, thogh protagonist is not! "
" I really had a hard time getting into this book. I had put my other one down because several people told me how much they liek th is series. I don't hink I will pick up another one. "
" It was ok but did not grasp me like I like them too. "
" I really enjoyed all the McNally books. Archy is such a lovable chararacter. Whenever I read a new McNally book it was like visiting an old friend. "
" An entertaining mystery with the requisite surprises. To be honest I think I gave it 3 stars rather than 4 because it was hard for me to like the playboy detective. If you enjoy a little glitz in your mysteries, this is a good one for you. "
" McNally is a delightful character and Sanders can definitely weave a good mystery. "
