Napolean Bonaparte is one of those detectives who remain entertaining even years later.

The Upfield Napoleon Bonaparte series give a great feel for the setting of early to mid 20th century Australia but are generally a little weak in plot. Good light read.

Every Napoleon Bonaparte/Upfield novel I've read was too soon ended. I'll keep all the books I find.

I like Upfield's mysteries. Inspector Bonaparte uses logic and evidence to decipher the crime and reveal the criminal. This novel was somewhat different than the others I've read, as it took place in Victoria and not in the Outback of one of the other Australian states.

When the criminal was revealed, the character was one of a few I thought it might be, but I was not able to know which one it was until "Bony" revealed it. And it was amusing how the murder weapon was cleverly revealed on the outside of the book.

I'm glad I still have many of Inspector Bonaparte's stories to read.
