Synopsis

Playboy Geoffrey Williams is dead. But it's not a search for the killer that brings Archy McNally to the case; the lovely Melva Williams readily admits to the crime passionnel. After finding Geoff in a precarious position with an attractive young lady, she pulled the trigger on husband number two. It sounds like an open-and-shut case for McNally & Son's Department of Discreet Inquiries, until Melva asks Archy to shield her daughter, Veronica, from the press and paparazzi. Gallant Archy takes the case--and escorts grown-up and gorgeous Veronica home to the McNally manse. Rumors fly, and some of them may be true. But Veronica is no damsel in distress, and she's certainly not sorry her stepfather is in the grave. And when her story doesn't match Melva's, which doesn't match Geoff's, Archy realizes he does indeed have a dilemma on his hands. Someone's lying, and the one person who knows the truth--Geoff's perky playmate--got away. A delectable combination of high society and high jinks, and featuring some of the most eccentric characters ever to populate Florida's Gold Coast, McNally's Dilemma is as witty and charming as Archy McNally himself.

From AudioFile:

In this eighth installment of the Archy McNally series, Archy, a charming cad of a gumshoe, tackles two cases simultaneously. One is a blackmail scheme; the other is helping a friend accused of murdering her philandering husband. The cases, all set in the empty, slimy world of the Palm Springs jetset, seem to be unrelated, until... Gaines performs well in this abridgment, giving McNally a smooth, understated baritone that is never flustered. Other characters are given distinct voices that add to the performances, keeping it interesting and moving the action along. The cast is colorful, and the plot is intriguing. M.T.F.
