An intriguing case for Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte begins on a calm October day in an Australian seaside town. Three men set out to sea for a day's fishing... and do not return. Despite intensive searches, no trace of the men or their boat is found until, weeks later, a passing trawler hauls in a gruesome catch - the head of one of the missing fishermen. It is quite clear that its owner was murdered with a pistol bullet. But by whom, and why, is for Bony to find out.©1939 Bonaparte Holdings Ltd.

Reseñas editoriales

Far from his usual stomping grounds in the bush of the Australian outback, Arthur Upfield’s The Mystery of Swordfish Reef finds the willfully unorthodox Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte in an unfamiliar environment: the vast ocean off the southeastern coast of Australia, where a fisherman’s severed head, riddled with bullet holes, washes ashore after he and his crew’s fishing vessel goes missing. Frustrated with a lack of physical evidence, Bony, whose wry attitude and unassailable confidence is superbly portrayed by talented narrator Peter Hosking, immerses himself in the world of sword-fishing to get to the bottom of this seemingly impenetrable mystery.

OK, this is definitely a bit of departure from his previous books … but indeed one of the best books in the Bonaparte series so far!LOVED, LOVED, LOVED how Bony’s prim and proper British decorum was overruled by his native heritage - and he kicked ass on the cunning crooks! As usual, captivating story telling, intriguing human relations and I learned a thing or two about deep sea fishing🤓 Excellent narration, of course. Left me wanting more. How is this not a TV series???!!!

OMG - best in the series … Bony Unleashed!!!

This is set in a fishing community in SE Australia. A nice change from the outback mysteries.

Bony goes to the sea

Narration: As usual, this narrator is top notch. I have trouble understanding some of the Aussie accent, but that's just me.

Story: Not quite up to Upfield snuff, but nonetheless entertaining. Story moves quickly. Nothing profound. Good light read/listen.

Writing: Well written prose. Excellent dialogue. So appreciated that there are absent so many "he saids" and she "saids."

Decent Upfield Mystery

Okay, every author is entitled to write one book to make a vacation tax-deductible and this is Arthur Upfield’s. Sadly the plot is thin, Bony doesn’t have a chance to use his talents, and the climax relies on a deus ex machina.

Disappointing
