The Murchison Murders by Arthur Upfield
dark

mysterious

3.0
A fascinating true story where fact meets fiction. Crime author Arthur Upfield, the Agatha Christie of Australia, details how his desire to find the perfect method of body-disposal to challenge his fictional Aboriginal Detective-Inspector led to a string of real-life murders.
With his novel as yet unpublished at the time the murders were established to have occured, things do not look too good for Arthur Upfield!
I'm now moving on to reading the novel that directly affected these true events - "The Sands of Windee"
