About this listen

A thrilling mystery and one of the incomparable Inspector Bonaparte's toughest cases.

Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte travels to Victoria, where two young women have disappeared while hiking in the Grampians. Not long after the search for the girls is called off, a local detective is found shot dead.

Bony visits the hotel the women were last seen at, and meets the hotel's unsavoury proprietor. The resulting encounter propels Bony into an investigation which almost costs him his life.

Please Note: Part of the appeal of Arthur Upfield's stories lies in their authentic portrayal of many aspects of outback Australian life in the 1930s and through into the 1950s. These audiobooks reflect and depict the attitudes and ways of speech of that era particularly with regard to Aborigines and to women. In reproducing this audiobook the publisher does not endorse the attitudes or opinions they express.

Most enjoyable.

Even though this wS a most enjoyable listen, there were a couple of mispronunciations that jarred. Eg...cupola ss cue- polla instead of cup ( what you have your coffee in) ola. Producers, please correct as they are being recorded. Yes, most enjoyable in spite of.

A very easy listen

The story and beautiful descriptive writing easily allows the reader to be transported back to a time in Australia just after the end of the 2nd world war. The tale twists and winds and kept me wanting to know what would happen next. The narrators voice is easy to listen too. The ending left me a little disappointed with a few unanswered questions about a couple of characters, Old man Simpson and Glen Shannon or maybe I just missed something. I really like the book and it's my first Arthur Upfield. I will definitely read more of his though.
