Mr. Moto Handles The Necessary Liquidating

This was the second in the Mr. Moto series, begun shortly after Marquand returned from his 1935 China trip. As was his custom, Marquand used two young people as the protagonists who found themselves unwittingly immersed in a mystery. While they struggled to solve the dilemma, the amateur sleuths were aided by Mr. Moto who appeared at crucial moments to make the heavy decisions and do the necessary liquidating.Marquand does a good job of describing the tensions in pre-World War II China . In order to enjoy the story, the reader will have to ignore some 1930's racial stereotypes.
