About this ebook
The Palm Beach sleuth tries to find a thief—and a killer—among a rich, eccentric family, in this New York Times bestseller. Archy McNally, the parttime investigator and fulltime bon vivant,takes on the curious case of a thief with exquisite taste within the eccentric Forsythe family. Griswold Forsythe II wants to know which greedy, conniving relative is making off with the family treasures, including an original Picasso and an irreplaceable Edgar Allan Poe first edition. Suspects abound, including the sexy Forsythe women who all seem to find McNally irresistible. But things take a nasty turn when Griswold is murdered. Who wanted to off the family patriarch—and why? Inside the lavish, baronial estate, McNally’s uncovering some pretty damning dirt, including illegitimate offspring and a resident ghost. As things heat up, McNally had better watch his back—or he, himself, could end up six feet under.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5PI Archy McNallys father, an insurance executive, assigns the debonair detective to work undercover to identify the thief who has pilfered the Forsythe family's priceless first edition of Poe.Archy bribes most of his informants with dinners, cases of booze and weekends in the Bahamas....to get the info he needs. His indiscriminate bedhopping complicated matters but as usual he is able to come out smelling like a rose.Another good addition to the McNally series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tone of language: Light-hearted, witty, skepticalCharacters: Leading lives of lonely desperationPace: Missing information fills in quicklyPlot twists: One major surprise at the endEnding: Life is unfair, but there are still adjustments you can makeValues: Live for pleasureSexuality: Several instances of sexual indulgence, discretely describedBackground research: Palm Beach society; Gourmet cookingTarget audience: EveryoneOffensive to any group: LeftistsFlaws: The murderer didn't have to run from the law, since there wasn't enough evidence to convict.
