Honestly speaking, not yet. The story begins too slowly and more in a form of travelogue, which is highly unlikely of the Gardner's style of fiction in Perry Mason and other series. But reaching midway, the story is taking a definitive pace. After return of the main characters from the journey abroad, the elements of possible dope smuggling and inadvertent involvement of the hero is taking shape. As evident from the preface, the writer has dedicated this book to his friend, a medical investigator of crime, I am expecting a few murders to come through, and narration of scientific investigations which may result in a fast paced fiction in the later half. In fact I am long obsessed with the Gardner's books, and my review could be a little bit favorably prejudiced too. I'll report back the final opinion once I finish the book.
