Once again Upfield introduces unusual characters and engrossing plot to take us on an austrailian adventure with the undefeated detective, Napoleon Bonaparte. It is Bony's knowledge of the bush that helps him crack this case. As readers, we learn some of the ways of life in Australia in the 50's and enjoy a puzzling mystery as Bony takes on the disguise of a horse breaker and barman to gain information in a very isolated and insulated town. I have never been disappointed in any of Arthur Upfields stories. I love how he presents his people --both white and aborigine --with sensitivity and compassion.
