Helpful Score: 1

This is the first Bony book I read. Bony is half white, half aboriginal Australian. He works out the mystery via intuition, intelligence and tracking skills he learned from his Aboriginal family. He is somewhat vain or perhaps he is simply assured of his abilities and isn't coy about it. The story may be somewhat slow but it is not shallow or simple or simplistic. The writing flows nicely. These books were written awhile back (circa 1940?) so reflect the period and attitudes of the day which is interesting. There is much detail on the life of small towns in this book, for example, on the edge of the outback. It is somewhat a "cozy" with an edge, if you like!
