Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte series
by Arthur W. Upfield
Checklist by
Robert Wilfred Franson
February 2004
Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte is the Australian half-caste hero of Arthur Upfield's superb mystery series: adventures of detection mostly set in the Australian Outback. Below is a simple checklist to the twenty-nine Bony novels, in order published. Titles vary among Australian, British, and American publishers; first publication date is followed by the original title, then alternate titles if any.
The Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte novels need not be read in order — the plots are almost entirely independent — but generally it's better to read earlier ones first as they develop more character and background about Bony himself. The Bone Is Pointed often is rated the very best and illuminates much of Bony's mind and character; another of my favorites, Death of a Lake, also has the distinctive dry wind of the Outback.
The Murchison Murders [and other essays] provides some interesting background material about camels and rabbits as well as murders.

I used to love the Boney stories years ago when I first discovered them. Haven't read one in ages and ages. Is Upfield still around and writing? I seem to recall reading those books back in the 1960s.
He died in 1964.
The picture Region posted, Boney or not, is lovely.
Thank you for the update, dlowan. But do let's heed Gus's advice.
I've got a hat like that in the car.
It's been run over a coupla times.
Only makes it look better.
Beth's got a cool hat
But it's been done flat.
It's in her car.
That's bizarre.
What'cha think of that?
(OK, that should end the thread right there.)
I don't know what you did there, MerryA, but you've just set me to dancing.
The dogs are puzzled.
[she doesn't usually get up from THAT bench and start dancing]

I take it you weren't wearing it at the time?
ummmmm
errrrrrrrrr
lemme check
pen is
Intrepid's at it again.
subtle is an interesting approach
There you are, a clearly and floridly orgasmic paramecium, in a species which logic decrees HAS no orgasm, speaking to us of subtlety?
Truly, the universe itself expresses irony!
Region's avatar reminds me of a fat little eskimo frightened by the approach of a hungry polar bear.
'Tis the joy of the Rorschach, I heard her exclaim,
Dlowan sees ecstasy, Gus fear and pain.

it was indeed a cilia-raising experience...

Cilia man!
That is nothing but locomotion.
