I hope they reach North America. I still prefer paper copies.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-4471106388495622752015-12-07T20:52:36.451-06:002015-12-07T20:52:36.451-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

I think I am going to try at some point to put together a map of Australia showing all the places Bony handled cases.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-1165941542956211582015-12-07T19:27:37.481-06:002015-12-07T19:27:37.481-06:00I like this one somewhat better than you do, I thi...I like this one somewhat better than you do, I think, Bill. I thought the characters - Penwarden in particular, to be sure - were well-developed. I thought Bony's ultimate solution was quite moving. <br /><br />As you're looking for others, let me recommend "Man of Two Tribes," which is one of my favorites. Also, the Upfield family apparently is republishing and re-releasing all the Bony novels in a variety of formats - print and e-books and even some audio, I believe. Bony is a favorite of mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-51644140221065217062015-12-07T04:15:18.851-06:002015-12-07T04:15:18.851-06:00I do have to admit to a soft spot for the Bony mys...I do have to admit to a soft spot for the Bony mysteries, Bill. One of the things I like about them is that as Bony goes to different parts of Australia to solve mysteries, readers get to tag along and get a sense of life in different places. They have a solid sense of setting (at least to me). And I always think Upfield used that tool of having Bony fit in to different communities very effectively. I lookk forward to your post about the lighthouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
