    About this audiobook

    Palm Beach bon vivant and playboy sleuth Archy McNally returns in another tale of love and larceny among the wealthy denizens of south Florida.

    Archy lives a life most people only dream about. As Chief of Discreet Inquiries at his father's white-shoe law firm, Archy keeps tabs on the rich and famous while keeping hours only a barfly could love. When well-to-do widow Edythe Westmore is urged to buy a Faberge Imperial egg, her adult offspring violently oppose the investment and enlist Archy's services to put the kibosh on the deal.

    As he investigates the bona fides of the bejeweled trinket, mysterious machinations of the siblings, family advisors, and an aged antiques dealer are revealed, and Archy is thrust into a whirling vortex of greed, passion, and murder that even he must fight to rise above.
    Mixing drama with highjinks, McNALLY'S GAMBLE is Lawrence Sanders's most delectable offering yet.

      This seventh installment of the Archie McNally series is -- like the earlier ones -- enjoyable and diverting. It is also the last one that was written by Lawrence Sanders, who died the year after "Gamble" was published. And it is well worth reading. It's Archie's personality that makes the series, and it is in full bloom in this installment. The plot, however, was less intriguing and more predictable than the in the two previous novels, which is why four stars instead of five. Had there only been more and more and more ......
