McNally is one of the best!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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.
Good - but not as great as most McNally books
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book had most of the delicious features of the other McNally books, but was missing something. I guess the killer's motivation was a little weak. Also, some of the juicy details were never wrapped up (e.g., why the nude photo collection?). McNally's case revolves around an eccentric family of nuts. He feels pity for the sane little 8 year old girl, who suffers with bitter parents. The killer was fairly easy to guess, and the show down near the end was dramatic.
Not great, but still very good

This is the fourth book in the McNally series that I have read and Sanders has crafted a solid mystery. I enjoyed the first two books in the series better (McNALLY'S SECRET and McNALLY's LUCK) because CAPER was fairly predictable as other reviewers have noted. But if you enjoy the series you'll enjoy this book. Nothing outstanding but still solid.
First rate mystery

First in a long line of great mystery novels by Sanders. I really enjoy this setting of this and the following series of books. I can 't wait till the next one comes out. Recommended highly
