He is, in fact, the only member of that department. Archy heads up the Discreet Inquiries department for his father's law firm.
He's more a lover than a fighter who, while romancing the ladies to the best of his abilities, finds time to investigate cases for his father's company McNally and Son, Attorney-at-law (notice the singular 'attorney'). Which is to say that Archy is not really a rough and tumble "put up your dukes" type of guy. In the grand pantheon of literary detectives Archy McNally falls closer to the realm of a Hercule Poirot or Ellery Queen rather than someone like a Sam Spade or Lew Archer.
#List of archy mcnally books series
The first three books in the Archy McNally series - great fun! Highly recommended to fans of humorous situations present in investigations by a lovable but hopelessly flawed leading character, the books in this series will not disappoint. Humorous dialogue taking place with others along with quips by Archie really make these books a pleasure to read, and it’s surprising how light hearted these reads can be in the midst of the murders that take place.
Lovable and charming, Archie somehow maintains his relationship with the lovely Connie who has been able to forgive his dalliances with attractive women he comes in contact with in his investigations. Successfully solving cases is often made possible by Archie utilizing the long list of acquaintances he’s known over the years, but most often relying on his friend Al Rogoff, the rough detective from the PBPD who overlooks the fact Archie is often a thorn in his side making his job more difficult. Seemingly content to devote the majority of his time to a life of leisure and womanizing that his life of privilege makes possible, he occasionally is required to take time to investigate the above mentioned cases and report his findings to his father.
“THE ARCHIE McNALLY SERIES VOLUME I” is a compilation of the first three books in the Archie McNally series, McNALLY’S SECRET, McNALLY’S LUCK, and McNALLY’S RISK.Īrchie is the young playboy son of a well respected attorney in the Palm Beach, FL area who specializes in “Discreet Inquiries”, and Archie is the investigator in those cases assigned to him by his father.
