McNally's Chance

From Library Journal Listen up, because this is complicated: Sanders stalwart Archy McNally is contracted by Sabrina Wright to look for her missing husband, who turns out not to be her husband and not the real missing person. That's Sabrina's daughter, born out of wedlock, put up for adoption, adopted by her own mother, and now looking for her real father somewhere in Palm Beach. Then Sabrina turns up dead. And that's just for starters. Note, in addition, the tricky double billing. Publishing can make for strange bedfellows. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From AudioFile Adam Henderson sounds like a playfully energetic Roddy McDowell, occasionally even like Tallulah Bankhead! If you liked McDowell's campy rendition of Rex Brewster in Agatha Christie's EVIL UNDER THE SUN, you'll find this audiobook to be pure ear candy. The decadent mega-rich Palm Beach bluebloods make their usual appearances. And although Archy does not settle down for his usual evening of listening to Ella Fitzgerald in his kimono, although the usual flirting with Mrs. Trelawny has became snide insults, although the plot isn't very challenging-Adam Henderson's reading is so over the top that you have to smile the whole time, "pinkled tink" by the whole megillah.
