In Tropical Doubts, the third legal thrill ride from author David Myles Robinson, the lovable Pancho McMartin is back in the courtroom, and back at the heart of a tangled murder mystery.
When old friends come begging him for legal help, it’s hard for this down-on-his-luck lawyer to refuse, but this case of medical malpractice is anything but normal. As the body count begins to rise and lies become muddied with truth, this unlikely hero will have to do his own investigating to discover where the guilt should lie. With a well-balanced plot and plenty of moving parts, this is a creative thriller from a writer with a casual, yet impressive voice.
As the third book in the series, Robinson starts to dig deeper into his protagonist, and his personality begins to shine through more than in his previous cases. Pancho is an honorable and intelligent protagonist, displaying moments of selfless compassion, as well as numerous flaws, providing readers with a relatable and humanized character at the core of these mysteries.
Legal thrillers can often become weighed down by unwieldy jargon or boring narrative passages, but Robinson steers the action well, balancing essential dialogue and courtroom procedure with thoughtful description and sparkling moments of character interaction that smack of authenticity. If you’re looking for a quick, smart, and insightful read, this standalone tale will hook you from the opening page with an expert balance of amusement and mystery.
