Mr. Jelly's Business is one of the finest of Arthur Upfield's many recognized reviews about the job of Detective Inspector Napoleon ("Bony") Bonaparte. It takes Bony to the Western world Australian town of Burracoppin to investigate the disappearance of George Loftus, whose car was found wrecked nearby the longest fence on the globe, the 1,500 mile Rabbit Fence. He fulfills Loftus's wife, who's not grief-stricken at her husband's disappearance; Loftus's hired man, singularly reticent about his own past history; and many of Burracoppin's numerous gossips. Later he encounters the strange Mr. Jelly, whose business causes his charming daughters great stress. The double question of Loftus' disappearance and Mr. Jelly's business taxes Bony's well-known forces of observation and deduction to the utmost, before two problems are all together solved. As anyone who is aware of Arthur Upfield's other work would expect, Mr. Jelly's Business is more than a story of offense and detection: In addition, it offers an admirable picture of life in Western world Australia's whole wheat country.
