About this listen

 Broome is a small, sun-drenched town on the barren northwest coast of Australia. It's small enough that everyone knows everyone else's business. How, then, did someone murder two widows in similar fashion and not leave any clues? It's a case for Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, who arrives on the scene incognito. He's barely begun his investigation when a third woman is killed. Bony realises that he is dealing with a madman, and that time is running out to stop a forth murder.©2013 William Upfield (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Mystery Fiction Crime Murder Suspense

Critic Reviews

Although this reader is ideal for this type of novel, several incidences of misplaced emphases does detract. However, enjoyable listening.
