Publisher's Summary
The police never notice the small detail in the background of a police photograph of an abandoned car. A detail that tells Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte plainly that the mysterious disappearance of Luke Marks near Windee Station is anything but accidental.
Why had Luke Marks driven specially out to Windee? Had he been murdered or had he, as the local police believed, wandered away from his car and been overwhelmed in a dust-storm? Bony feels the answers lie somewhere in the sands of Windee.

another excellent book from Arthur Upfield.
once again Arthur Upfield has taken control of a story and "painted his pictures in words ", making the people and places come to life as he does so well on his paper canvas.
Peter Hosking once again breaths new life into a story originally written in the 1930's so you actually become a part of the story and not just a spectator.
Well done, again to Arthur Upfield and Peter Hosking!

A really good yarn.
A really good yarn. I usually only listen to actual history, however the way it was written, ones imagination could almost have you believe it was actual history.

Not my favoutite story.
Unfortunately this book shows that Bony is too conscious of his half-caste status. Such rot as to his feelings for a white woman who sees him only as a man, not a half breed. Bah, humbug!

authentic history
Arthur Upfield captures the primitive and yet beautiful way of life in early outback settlements as well as giving a fair build-up to the solving of the mystery.

Sands of Windee
Love my Boney novels. Read them all as a child and reread them every few years. This is the first audio novel on the series that I've listened to and I enjoyed it no end. Peter Hosking did a good job at separating the characters and made the listen enjoyable. I've noticed that some people comment on how un-PC the novels are - but I think of the time they were written, the world has never been a perfect place, and books written before our time have to be accepted as such with none of our judgements placed upon them.

The best of the Bony series so far
The twist at the end makes this one of the best.
As a general comment, Peter Hoskins narration is excellent.
Highly recommended. Great characters, particularly the wisdom of Fr Ryan.
