Seller's Description:
VG. 12mo. original printed paper wraps (a little rubbed & marked, paperstock toned, neat tape strengthening at tail, prev. owner's name to first page); pp. 200. A very good copy. The 20th Napoleon Bonaparte murder mystery, set in Mount Gambier, South Australia.
Is it just me, or did Arthur Upfield have more to say about politics, government and administration than crime in this book? In most of his books, the story revolves around understanding the true motive and actions that led to the murder. In this book, the actual motive and means of murder are such minor points the reader would miss them entirely if not for the explicit explanation at the end. Don't get me wrong - there is still much of the same wonderful description and dialogue of other Bony books. I just think Upfield was running out of creative plot lines at this point in his writing career.
