Book Description :

Archy McNally's latest escapade sends the Palm Beach private investigator into the heart of a dynasty, where scandalous secrets are concealed by wealth and power
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.

From AudioFile
In a popular series of books, P.I. Archy McNally, witty and raffish, tells how he solves crimes among the rich and famous in tony Palm Beach. In this bestseller, his 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. The bon mots come thick and fast as the plot thickens. While narrator Adam Henderson has an admirably expressive voice, he is a bit too fey to impersonate our hero. In his mouth the quips sound forced, the characters cartoonish. Yet he gro on the listener as the tape spools on, and at last, though he may not be the McNally that Sanders has written, he is a McNally worth listening to.
