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 & Sons' Department of Discreet Inquiries until Melva asks Archy to shield her daughter, Veronica, from the press and paparazzi.

Daytime soap opera - I really couldn't finish...

Publisher's Summary
When the Palm Beach Community Theater needs a director for its production of Arsenic and Old Lace, Archy tosses his megaphone into the ring. After all, Hollywood legend Desdemona Darling will lend her considerable talents to the production. While resident grande dame Lady Cynthia Horowitz wants a little of the spotlight to fall on her latest live-in hunk, Buzz Carr, she has no intention of letting Buzz rehearse all day with the actress, who, like Lady C, has made marriage a cottage industry.
For poor Archy, there's more drama backstage than onstage, and plenty of confusion everywhere, especially with the fuzzy-headed Binky Watrous serving as stage manager. When an actor takes a sip of prop wine and drops dead, the Palm Beach police suddenly take a special interest in the local theater scene.
In a play filled with murders, only Archy can separate the actors from the genuine article, and bring down the curtain on the latest and most enjoyable of McNally's follies.

Archie is at it again, he is an interesting one
Where does McNally's Folly rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I have listened to almost all of the McNally books by Vincent Lardo with Mr Gaines as the reader and loved everyone of them
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
True Archie does twist and turn to get to the end and yes, I was very interested to solve the mystery
What about Boyd Gaines’s performance did you like?
Without a doubt Boyd Gaines is the only reader to reflect the true flavor of PALM beach. I enjoy his reading very much
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Well, when the super rich have problems it does make us lesser mortals smile, but no one likes to see anyone murdered who doesn't deserve it. I did both, laugh more than cried
Any additional comments?
Realizing that there won't be anymore books about Archie is sad. I love the series
