The method in Bony's madness is that while serving a semi-detention sentence and being made to paint the police station, he wears the best of all disguises... Here again is a first-rate Upfield mystery, made warm by humour, by the background characters and his portrayal of the natural background scene.</em> - The Age</p><p><em>Upfield at his best.</em> - Adelaide News</p>
