A dryly witty British crime novel, A Sorry State sends the unflappable Superintendent O'Malley on a baffling investigation that stretches from the familiar streets of England to the far-flung Philippines. Michael Kenyon, a master of understated humour and intricate plotting, constructs a mystery that is equal parts procedural and darkly comic, with O'Malley navigating bureaucratic absurdity and genuine danger in equal measure. The narrative builds with quiet tension, punctuated by Kenyon's signature sharp observations on human folly and institutional incompetence. A standout entry in the O'Malley series, it rewards readers who appreciate intelligence and wit in their crime fiction.
