Suspense, sex, murder and secrets lead Archie on a a merry chase. This is a great read!
I love that FOP Archie McNally and you must too in order to follow him from book to book. He is refreshing, funny, and a little self-absorbed. Sounds like me without the cash. Oh Wel.
This book is my father's--he must have loved it, because he gave me two copies and has a whole collection at home!
Sanders' McNally series is compelling and funny too. This one is an engaging page turner. Great for an airplane!
McNally solves the murder of a bird-store with his usual pals and enjoying the good life. Good book

Archy is at it again. This is a good story from the series.
When I want to read a mystery with humor and not too heavy story I turn to Sanders', McNally's series, this book is a good read.
This series is a lot of fun. Great beach read.
The perfect beach book - Sanders' style is witty and breezy, and his protagonist Archy McNally is wonderfully cheerful and snarky.
I simply loved this book. I've been captured by Archy, He is funny and smart. He really loves to sink his teeth into a good mystery not to mention a huge onion sandwich.
Bird store owner Hiram Gottschalk is a wealthy widower with a paranoid son and heir, twisted twin daughters, and shady employees. As the owner of Parrots Unlimited, Hiram believes that his life is in danger, so he hires playboy-turned-Palm Beach private investigator Archy McNally and his sidekick Binky to protect him. Apparently Hiram had good reason to be frightened, Archy soon realizes - when the bird shop owner's mutilated body is found sometime later.
Hiram has been stabbed in his sleep, so Archy tries to solve the deadliest case of his career. But for Archy and Binky, the biggest piece of this scandalous puzzle is still missing - who has the motive to kill two more birds with one stone.
Although I eventually enjoyed reading this book, I did have some slight trouble at first getting into the style of the writing. I suppose it just took me a while to get used to the way Archy McNally expressed himself - to me, he seemed affected and somewhat pedantic. It was annoying at first, but I did eventually get used to Archy McNally as a character. This book was certainly enjoyable, and I have several more books from this series sitting on my bookshelf, but McNally's Puzzle was the first Archy McNally book that I've actually read. I give this book a strong A!

Archie Mcnally definately has a way with word's. Sanders captured a style of writing that has bit's amount's of humor blended in with the story. Mostly proper english,language we hardly hear these day's. I'd recommend any of McNally's trail's & trib's.
Sex, secrets and suspense-nobody writes them like Lawrence Sanders. And nobody lives for them like Archy McNally, the playboy-turnedPalm Beach P.I. who has charmed his way through five bestselling thrillers, including McNally's Caper and McNally's Trial. Wealthy bird-store owner Hiram Gottschalk feels his life is in danger. And he's right-as McNally realizes when his mutilated body is found.
Between Gottschalk's shady employees, his paranoid son and heir, and his twisted twin daughters, there's no shortage of pieces to this scandalous puzzle. But for Archy and his sidekick, Binky, the biggest piece is still missing-the killer with a motive to kill two more birds with one stone.
