Reader Reviews
By chance I discovered Arthur Upfield's Napoleon Bonaparte (Bony) mysteries a few years ago when I bought "Murder Down Under" at a used book store. Though it has his most memorable character, "The Spirit of Australia," the story's only an average one for the series. However I was hooked. The remote location (Australia's outback) of most of Upfield's stories, the aborigine ethnography that runs as a thread though most of them, and his character descriptions held my interest more than following the various mysteries to their solution. Soon I'd purchased all the books in the series except "The Lure of the Bush." For some reason it's never been reprinted in a popular edition and it was imposible to buy at a reasonable price. I had to get it through interlibrary loan. Though it's his first "Bony," it's the best. I highly recommended it. And while I'm on the first/best Upfield subject, I'll recommend his "Gripped By the Drought." It antedates the Bony series and is Upfield's best work, mysteries included. In fact I'll go a long way further: It's one of the best novels ever written. "Gripped By the Drought" has it all. Plotting, characters, and writing are all well done. The several universal themes that run through the story are equally well handled. It'll hold your interest and it's memorable. As happened with another book I reviewed recently, Urling Coe's "Pioneer Doctor," some publisher -Scribner take notice - needs to reprint this with an introduction. "Gripped By the Drought" shouldn't be forgotten.
