Summary: Archy is Great Again!!
Review: Lawrence Sanders continues to make Archy McNally one of the best detectives in fiction. I loved this book- the characters are hilarious and the action is entertaining. The pace of the mystery is quick and the clues keep coming. In the end everything comes to a satisfying conclusion, with Archy on top once again. A great Summer read!!

Summary: Interesting if you are into being zany.
Review: now, probably if you are into this series and like this guy's style then you loved this book. personally i found it strange: purposely using thise really big unknown words and describing down to the last morsel every piece of food he eats throught the whole book.
ok the puzzle/mystery: great - gets a whole star by itself.

Summary: Amusing
Review: This is an Archy McNally murder mystery. It follows Archy's investigation of threats to Hiram Gottschalk, one of his father's Palm Beach legal clients. Archy himself is a light-hearted socialite, who describes characters first by the labels on their clothing. Archy works on his investigation mainly by wining and dining the suspects at parties and clubs, and manages to discover who is behind Gottshalk's eventual murder without working up a sweat.Archy's character, with his unrelenting focus on fashion and the finer things of life, makes the book rather amusing. However, the story isn't entirely believable, since Archy, is of course, able to dictate to the bad guys where and when he will confront them. These weaknesses aside, the book makes an enjoyable light read.

Review: To read through this series like a number of us currently are, one has to suspend any intentions they have of being steeped in serious detective work. Archy doen't take himself seriously. Read this book to be lightly entertained and slightly amused. Otherwise go read something else.
