A fantastic resource;growing epidemic of workplace theft
My interest in the topic of workplace theft began, unexpectedly, after a recent outbreak of crime in my office. As a federal employee, I had always considered myself immune to the disruptive impact of workplace theft. Thatnaivete ended when I became seperated with some objects of high sentimentalvalue. Confused and distraught, I looked for some answer to this violationand began to research the available literature. Neil Snyder's book was thefirst one I discovered, and his writing proved to be especially supportiveand helpful. His chapters explained the risks, the statistics, andessentially lifts the wool from over your eyes to reveal that thesuccessful workplace is a defensive workplace. I have since formed awatchgroup and a worplace preparedness commission to help instituteSnyder's and others teachings about this very important topic. A must readfor anyone concerned with their safety while on the job. ... Read more

Some of Upfield's best work (book details)
I have the 1950 Doubleday hardcover edition of this work, (midnight blue binding.)

Laid out in 25 brief chapters over 204 pages, Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte ("Bony" to all his pals) delves into a dark murder mystery where a strangler is terrorizing the Australian community of Broome. Typical to Upfield's Bony tales, the local police are stumped so Bony is sent in undercover.

Two fairly young women have been brutally murdered but, aside from their status as widows, they seem to otherwise have had little in common. It soon becomes clear to Bony that these killings will have no end until this fiend is caught so the bi-racial (half-Caucasian, half-Aborigine) detective is forced into setting a trap... but not before the strangler also becomes a poisoner!

The resolution in solving this cozy murder (like all of Upfield's Bony cases) requires a combination of psychology (like Hercule Poirot) tenoned with a shrewd follow-up on the physical evidence (like Sherlock Holmes.) The late Arthur W. Upfield was also very shrewd about keeping the reader jumping on possible suspects, which is a hallmark of his writing. All this linked together with Upfield's terrific painting of period Australian culture as a backdrop (along with a couple of minor subplots) and we get to read a remarkable work of mystery.

This one doesn't drag for a moment and is right up there with another of Upfield's marvelous reads, MR JELLY'S BUSINESS which is also sold under the revised title of MURDER DOWN UNDER.

This one is timeless and I highly recommend it for fans of the genre.

You really think you're in Australia solving a crime
Superb. You feel surrounded by the weird landscapes, aborigines, and oddcharacters of the outback. Builds up suspense. BRAVO! ... Read more
