    About this audiobook


    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.

      I love Lawrence Sanders! The politically incorrect Archy McNally gets a taste of his own medicine from Connie in this one. Maybe there's hope for the rogue yet. A really fun read, totally mindless. And Sanders always makes me so hungry!
    • 4/5
      For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. I certainly do. A friend recommended the McNally series when I told her that I was in dire need of purely escapist reading, and it has filled the bill. This third episode starts off with Archie undertaking an investigation of someone's undesirable daughter-in-law-to-be, but soon evolves into a twisted tail of murder, mayhem and eventual heroics on Archie's part. Much of the fun in this series is observing the gradual unfolding of Archie's distinctly eccentric personality: this is NOT your usual PI hero. Archie is the son of a wealthy Palm Beach lawyer, but is not a lawyer himself, having been kicked out of Yale Law for streaking. Instead, he works as the "Discreet Enquiries" branch of Dad's law firm, said discreet enquiries involving the rich and respected of Palm Beach. He lives happily with Mum and Dad, untroubled by his lack of worldly success, and with no visible ambition to change anything. He loves the ladies, one in particular, but ends up following a maxim from "Finian's Rainbow" -- 'when I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.' He loves food, and clothes, and his red Miata, and is a delight, particularly when he waxes a tad (only temporarily) melancholy.
