Reseñas editoriales
Written in 1945, Arthur Upfield’s ninth installment of his Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte series treats the listener to Bony as he’s never been seen before: seemingly fallen off the deep end as he purposefully gets himself arrested in the close-knit, isolated town of Merino while investigating the brutal murder of the titular swagman, the Australian term for a vagrant.
Of course, there is a method to his calculated madness, and Peter Hosking’s vibrant, emotive performance keeps the listener enthralled as Bony’s ingenious plan slowly unfurls.

What made the experience of listening to Death of a Swagman the most enjoyable?
I like the Bony novels. I like the tone of the books.What other book might you compare Death of a Swagman to and why?
The other Bony books. The voice is contempory to the story and not trying to just "sound" older.Which character – as performed by Peter Hosking – was your favorite?
Always Bony, but Florence (Rose Marie) was important.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. I like time to digest the book.Any additional comments?
This is a middle, 1950s, Bony and I like the earlier ones better.Bony Never Disappointments

There is always a warning in the beginning about how these books are sexist and racist products of their time. I’ve never heard such a warning before, so I was expecting it to be pretty bad. However, in this book, the women were strong characters. Also, their value was based on traits like character and intelligence, rather than looks. This book did not feature Aborigines, but the author did comment on how they were a noble race whose culture had been destroyed by the whites. Bony is half Aboriginal and there is a soliloquy about how these “half-castes” at least could do as well as if not better than most whites if they were given a chance. So I think the author was probably progressive for his time.
4 stars for story because I did not care for the ending; the motivation for the murders seemed ridiculous.
