Yorky, one of the locals and a crazy wanderer, is known to have been in the area, and his footprints have been identified near the body. When he too disappears, even the Aboriginal trackers are baffled. Bony's approach changes everything ...©1957 William Upfield (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing

I enjoy listening to these

The performance by Peter Hoskins is excellent and the stories are interesting with some humor. The author includes a good bit of background material that makes them even more interesting to me. Best mysteries? No. A good, light book to listen to, yes. Very much so.

The publishers make the point that the attitudes toward women and aboriginals were typical of the period - those attitudes can be annoying. It doesn’t spoil the books and Upfield shows a degree of admiration for Aboriginals and includes strong women in many of his casts.

One of his good ones.

Narration: Wonderfully narrated. Australian accent is delightful.

Story: One of his good stories but not one of his best.
