4.0 out of 5 stars MURDER MYSTERY IN SOUTH AFRICA, January 6, 2011

This review is from: The Blood of an Englishman (Paperback)

Another murder mystery by Author James McClure taking place in 1980, starring his very capable Lt. Kramer and Detective Zondi of South Africa. These ace investigators also appear in other McClure novels. In this story, Mrs.Digby-Smith opens the trunk of her car and discovers a tied-up corpse which eventually the reader learns is that of her younger brother. I found the novel to be a well-plotted and well-written piece and involves some hideous underworld characters, and some unresolved enmities of World War II. The story will keep your attention right to the ironic, surprising end.
