Five Ring Circus (1998) - Plot & Excerpts

I enjoy Scobie Malone mysteries. He's a good character, an honest, hard-working detective. I've been a bit critical about some of the Malone novels before because the suspect is settled on too early, with not really enough clues and the rest of the book is about how Scobie finally gets his man. This was not one of those. There are more than enough suspects, but even at that I did not even come close to seeing who was the actual killer(s) or why. In some ways the solution was out of left field, in others it fit perfectly. It's like there were so many possible threads to the mystery, between the finances and corrupt officials and Chinese interference that it was hard to pick the right one, for us and for the investigators. I mean that in a good way.You can read my whole review on my blog, Carol's Notebook.
