Tropical Scandal: A Pancho McMartin Legal Thriller by David Myles Robinson is the fifth installment in the series and it reads beautifully as a standalone novel, an intricately woven tale that will appeal to fans of legal thrillers and readers who enjoy complex characters and captivating plot twists. Pancho is invited by the dying, alcoholic Isaac Goldblum, an attorney he has admired before. Isaac Goldblum can't work on his cases anymore, so Pancho takes over a complicated case of murder. Dayton is an innocent man who is accused of murdering his grandmother. Pancho quickly discovers that nothing is as it seems, sucked into a world of corruption, greed, and conspiracy and with little to go on, can he prove his client's innocence in a Hawaii that holds deadly secrets?
This is the story of an indefatigable lawyer and a case that has many levels of complexity. It is balanced, nuanced, and intelligently plotted and the setting is vividly drawn with strong imagery to dazzle readers. Robinson has an extraordinary knowledge of law and knows how to weave legal details into the story without sacrificing plot and characterization. Here is a book in a series that will enthrall devotees of crime and legal thrillers. The characters are sophisticated and elaborately explored. Robinson has the ability to construct intriguing puzzles and he cleverly delivers satisfying solutions for them while ensuring that readers are kept on the pages. The plot's many twists have the potential to capture readers, the conflict is solidly developed and it moves the story forward with steady strides. Tropical Scandal is a smart, zippy thriller; it is ultimately compelling and thoughtfully plotted — a page-turner in the Pancho McMartin series.
