Think Australian Agatha Christie for these period (1950's)saturated Australian detective stories about half aborigine detective, Napoleon Bonaparte (Bony). Compare to Hercule Poirot, with Bony winning, in my opinion, with his more lovable personality.
Add the elements of race discrimination of the 1950's, the combination of aborigine instinct and tracking skills with the white man's thinking skills, an author who is comparable to Christie for unexpected plot twists, the ability of the author to evoke time and place, and you have books I enjoy reading more than once.
