Solid entry in the Bony (Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte) series but I missed the Outback! This time, Bony is undercover in Cork Valley, a green & fertile place settled almost exclusively by Irish. During his investigation, Bony hardly makes use of his ability to read the land, using his ability to read people instead
Another story brilliantly written by Arthur W Upfield and wonderfully read by Peter Hosking. Australian crime fiction at its best!!

Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte finds a bit of Ireland in Australia in this book. He goes undercover to investigate a murder, but finds himself drawn into the people in a way he hadn't expected. Very good!
