It's probably the only mystery novel that can be seen as a relative to Ellery Queen's <i>And on the Eighth Day</i>, but surprisingly better handled. <br /><br />By the way, I discovered Upfield through your podcasts, Les, if I remember correctly.

In the U.S., I think both "The Bone Is Pointed" and "The Bachelors of Broken Hill" are still available in trade paperback editions. But when I checked Amazon just now, I saw that a LOT of the Bony novels are available as eBooks, at least from Amazon US, and I cheer that development. I've actually read (and own) all the books. May I recommend, if you can get them, "Death of a Swagman," "Murder Must Wait" and/or "Man of Two Tribes." They're among my favorites. Cake in the Hat Box is very good too, as you say; if you can find "The Clue of the New Shoe," that's also excellent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
