Status Updates From The Betel Nut Tree Mystery ...

I enjoyed the setting in this novel but unfortunately found that it was screamingly obvious who the murderer was. Su Lin basically suspected everyone except for the actual perpetrator, while the Chief Inspector was distracted by other issues and barely involved at all. A bit disappointing overall. I did get a chuckle that a character was named Roderick Glossop, which I can only assume was a nod to PG. Wodehouse.
