Title: Death of a Lake Subtitle: An Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte Mystery Author: Arthur Upfield Narrator: Peter Hosking Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-16 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Fiction, Historical Publisher's Summary: Napoleon Bonaparte returns in this classic Australian mystery from the classic Bony series. One night Raymond Gillen, shortly after winning over 12,000 in a lottery, went for a late-night swim in the waters of Lake Otway and never came back. No one doubted that he drowned; the main question on everyone's lips was, what happened to the money? Three years later drought is taking its toll, and Lake Otway is close to death, losing the last of its water. Five men and two women wait to find out whether the shrinking lake will uncover Gillen's body and a clue to his missing money. Also on the scene, and content to wait, is Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte. Please note: part of the appeal of Arthur Upfield's stories lies in their authentic portrayal of many aspects of outback Australian life in the 1930s and through into the 1950s. These books reflect and depict the attitudes and ways of speech of that era, particularly with regard to Aborigines and to women.
