Reseñas editoriales
Peter Hosking’s husky Australian rasp transports the listener to Melbourne in this installment of Arthur Upfield’s classic Napoleon Bonaparte series, which finds Bony far from his familiar outback terrain as he travels to a mountain resort on the trail of a postwar spy who meets a mysterious and unexpected demise.
Peter Hosking’s dynamic performance lends this quintessentially Australian detective series a sense of authenticity, capturing the essence of Upfield’s lean, hard-boiled prose as well the spirit of an eccentric cast of cigarette smoking, whiskey-swilling coastal denizens in this gripping mystery.

The wonderful image I have of large footprints burned into manicured grass A bit of blood and guts and 1950's 'noir'. Bony being arrogant and charming and dressed to kill, and outwitting the crims is a little different to some of his other guises in other books.
This is a favourite Arthur Upfield story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
set in Australia post WW2 Bony, with his half aboriginal heritage, is unique in the detective arena.Who was your favorite character and why?
Bony - always so smoothHave you listened to any of Peter Hosking’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, many. He has an unusual style that suits these books, sounding slightly old-fashioned in his speech, but as the books are slightly old-fashioned, it works well.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not in its unabridged version-too long!Any additional comments?
Arthur Upfield is very precise in his descriptions, which can be wordy at times, but he gets away with it. His Outback mysteries, especially, have vivid portrayals of life and the desert country, for rich and poor, black and white. Even so, they are still a cracking good whodunnit.enjoyable aussie whodunnit

Would you listen to Devil's Steps again? Why?
Yes. It is an excellent classic mystery story. The unique setting of Austrailia in the 1940's creates a delicious atmosphere. The atmosphere is authentic since Arthur Upfield wrote the book in 1946. Detective Napoleon Bonaparte is such a wonderful character. Half AbroigineWhat other book might you compare Devil's Steps to and why?
