Did he fall or was he pushed into the boiling mud? Who is the spy, who is stealing sacred Maori objects? Everyone has a motive. (Interesting to note that when this was written the outcome of the war was still unknown). Somewhat stereotyped characters - the pakeha as much as the Maori, and her much loved theatrical sideline. Enjoyable period piece, though not her very best. (  ) Figgles | Dec 4, 2009 |  austcrimefiction | Dec 11, 2007 | It was a horrible death. Maurice Questing was lured into a pool of boiling mud and left there to die. Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn, far from home on a wartime quest for German agents, knows that any number of people could have killed him, the English exiles he’d hated, the New Zealanders he’d despised, the Maoris he’d insulted, or even the spies he’d thwarted—if he wasn’t a spy himself. kattykathy | May 28, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
