Summary: Another Winner
Comment: I had loved the McNALLY books when their creator, Lawrence Sanders, died. Vincent Lardo, who took over this series at the behest of the Sanders' estate, has done the impossible. He has inhabited another author's characters without a missed beat.
The new, Lardo-penned McNALLY books are every bit as good as the Sanders originals, and that's saying a lot.
McNALLY'S CHANCE is another face-paced, gripping romp, set in Palm Beach among the beau monde. Reading it is as good as week's vacation in Florida.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Fun
Comment: Vincent Lardo's Archy McNally is feeling more and more comfortable to me. It's tough to take over for a writer as loved as Lawrence Sanders, but Mr. Lardo is up to the challenge.
This time Archy's parents are away on a cruise and his female love interest is barely seen. That certainly keeps those characters fresh for future Mcnally exploits, and seems a good ploy to me.
Even his crony in the Palm Beach Police Department has a lower than usual profile this time. Archy's pal Binky has the biggest part among the usual recurring characters, so we get to share his misadventures.
It's the usual lighthearted romp among the rich and infamous on the island of Palm Beach. Lots of setup and many a red herring along the way, punctuated with a fair share of laughs.
If you are looking for a deep and complicated hardboiled noirish mystery, look elsewhere...but if a little tongue in cheek and mystery-lite sounds like a good change of pace, then "McNally's Chance" is for you.
It is fast read and an enjoyable book from start to finish.
Enjoy this one.

Summary: The best yet inspite of its faults.
Comment: This one is probably the best read in the entire McNally series to date. The ending is a bit weak in one or two places, Archie is a little too taken by Bianca Courtney, and I doubt we will hear much more about Henry Peavy, but the book is still a great read. Read, enjoy and savor.
