...Dapper Palm Beach PI Archy McNally has been requested by a monied client of his father's law firm to check the background of Theodosia Johnson, a beautiful neo socialite in the south Floridian circles, and soon to be married to an heir of a fortune...McNally cajoles, bribes with meals and pays off his many sources--caterers, barkeeps and newspapermen--but information about the lass starts ...

Field Guide to the Wildlife of Costa Rica (Corrie Herring Hooks)

University of Texas Press, 2002

Packed with fascinating natural history info
This excellent book is a fun read, plus it includes fascinating natural history tidbits that make the birds, mammals, butterflies, frogs and other wildlife come alive! The appendix of wildlife tourism sites and field stations (with contact info) was hugely helpful as we prepared for our trip.

The Splendor of Florida
I just got a copy of this book last week and it is wonderful. The photos show dramatic and intimate views of the state's riches - from its natural resources to its varied architecture. Woven into the visual richness is a terrific narrative by a native son whose love of the state is clear but passionate. Everyone in my family has spent long sessions looking through the book remembering places ...

McNally is one of the best!
One of the rare instances when Archie doesn't do what he is supposed to do. Extremely entertaining and funny as ususal. My husband and I enjoy listening to Sanders books on McNally and we have learned to carry a dictionary with us to figure out what some of the obscure words mean. Well worth the money spent on it.

Super!
Absolutely wonderful book. A gift for my daughter, who has loved tree houses since she was a toddler. She says it is one of the best she has ever seen! It's worth buying, just for the concept.

The Truth of the Fae...
A very nice collection of Farie Short Stories; trully encompasing not just the Whimsy of Faries, but also the depth of emotion and adventure in what all too often is seen as only children's worlds... These certainly do not stop at that; they take you to where you never thought Faries could go, but should have suspected they did.

Who's Speaks There? Lavender Loafers On Walk About. What Colors Grace The Soles?
The best word I can come up with for this novel is not cozy but comfortable, like the softest easy chair conjure-able. The story, setting, and characters enveloped the reader, soothing away toil and trauma. Maybe that "easing" was caused by Archy's return; I don't know what happened to the Archy-2, beard-shadow-guy described in my recent review of DILEMMA. One of the contrasts I noticed in ...

Silver Ghost Rolls In Faberge Egg. Roll The Dice
This one opened with a fast-moving, jazzy rescue of a kidnaped child, capturing me with Archy's warmth to the victim's father, and the hint of a crime to come which was billed to be more heinous than a child kidnaping. Following quickly on the heals of the rescue, I settled into the main plot, riding along with Archy's loving machinations in prep for his father's birthday dinner, after which ...

Hot Dog! Pass The Mustard! The New Archy is Up!
(Other editions of this novel are also available from Amazon, on Super Saver Shipping offers. Type the title, McNALLY'S DILEMMA, into Amazon's search box to get to the buying pages for those editions.) This being the notorious "take over" novel by Vincent Lardo, I was particularly interested in how Vince would crook his finger to the reader, and how he would work into the role of Lawrence ...
