About this listen
In the sixth book in Lawrence Sanders's best-selling Archy McNally series, a twisting tale of sizzling family secrets proves that murder isn't just for the birds
Hiram Gottschalk, owner of the Palm Beach shop Parrots Unlimited, fears for his life. First, he finds a photo of himself and his deceased wife slashed to ribbons; then, a Mass card with his name on it is taped inside of his closet door; now, someone has wrung the neck of his beloved pet bird. In desperation, he turns to McNally & Son for a private investigation. McNally meets with Gottschalk, along with his client's cursing parrot. McNally wisely ignores the bird's command to go to hell, but he can't ignore the fallout when his client is stabbed in his sleep and Gottschalk's unstable son, Peter, becomes the prime suspect. When more victims turn up, McNally has to puzzle out the motives of a murderer who has just killed two more birds with one stone...and is now targeting the dapper detective.

Playboy Geoffrey Williams is dead. But it's not a search for the killer that brings Archy McNally to the case; the lovely Melva Williams readily admits to the crime passionnel. After finding Geoff in a precarious position with an attractive young lady, she pulled the trigger on husband number two. It sounds like an open-and-shut case for McNally & Sons' Department of Discreet Inquiries until Melva asks Archy to shield her daughter, Veronica, from the press and paparazzi.

The victory was hollow for Alan. He had been running a close second behind his good friend Bill Davidson, when Bill’s horse unexpectedly jerked as he soared over the steeplechase fence. Now, Bill was dead from his injuries, and Alan knew it wasn’t an accident. A small menacing thread of wire dangled from the top of the fence—a carefully constructed plot of malice. Curious, Alan begins an investigation that points to corruption that transcends the racing circuit—seeping into the town surrounding the track.

Spencer Quinn’s first original audio short story reveals how everyone’s favorite detective duo - Chet the Dog and P.I. Bernie Little - came to meet before their first big case in Dog On It. As fans know, Chet first met Bernie on that fateful day when he flunked out of K-9 police school. The details of that day, though, have always remained a little vague (like so much in Chet’s doggy brain). All we know is that Chet had been the best leaper in his K-9 class, but for some reason he failed his final leaping test...and that a cat was involved...and that there was some blood. But whose?

Story4 out of 5 stars 75
Kenneth Ewald has what it takes to win the presidency: the support of his party, a lovely wife, a dynamic campaign. What neither he nor any candidate needs is a corpse. He knows only one man capable of solving a crime, clearing his son, putting his campaign back on track and catching a killer: his best friend Mac Smith. Oddly enough, it was Mac and his dog Rufus who found the body in the first place.

Auntie Poldi can think of no finer place to wait for death than Sicily. All she asks is a sea view, fine wine (and plenty of it), and her family close around. When death instead takes her handsome young friend Valentino - and under mysterious circumstances at that - Poldi will not take it lying down. Perhaps it's in her blood, but Auntie Poldi's hunting instincts have never felt more alive. Justice must be served - if it's the last thing she does....

My Favorite Author!
After reading Lawrence Sanders’ books long ago, I have started working my way through the audiobooks. Thoroughly entertaining. I’m looking forward to listening to the next one.

Typical Archie story with plenty of Palm Beach background. Very detailed story and a lot of suspense. Good reading from start to finish.

Couldn’t finish it
Loved the first four books and hoped for more of the same but Larry lost it somewhere after #4 by creating two new very unappealing characters. One is a psych who babbles on and on pushing the big pharma agenda and the other is a no-charm hanger on named Bicky? that Archle uses as a foil but a wholly unnecessary one. Too bad. If you’re just starting on this series I advise quitting after number four and save the credits.

Boooring!
Unsurprisingly, Audible stopped offering McNally books with the next - the seventh in this series.
Not to worry... The 6th in this epic is my last. Archie McNally was a traveling companion of mine as, twice a year I drove a couple thousand miles round trip to and from a vacation home. On each ride, I'd looked forward to having Victor Bevine tell me another of Lawrence Sanders McNally stories. Frankly, they helped keep me awake. You know, not so much adventure or cognitive discipline to distract from Interstate driving, but enough to tickle that part of my mind that needed support.
I noticed that 'McNally's Trial' - the fifth in this series was growing repetitive - but another meeting with Archie seemed like a tradition, so 'McNally's Puzzle' got packed with the road stuff. Pity. Sander's seems to have lost his imagination and Victor Bevine's reading brought nothing new to the adventure. So... sort of sadly, there won't be any more Archie on our future trips up and down America's east coast.
Sanders is out of steam, he phoned this one in. In fact, I'm surprised there was another McNally that followed it.
