It has a wonderful cover doesn't it?
You can read a bit of the book either at Amazon or all of it on Google Books. Here
Blurb:
The time is the mid 1890s. The setting, a small outback town [in Australia]. Harry Ford, the postmaster, is opening other people's mail. They say nothing happens in small towns, but there's plenty to set tongues wagging in this neighbourhood of sinners; adultery, blackmail, disappearances, poisonings. And then the Great Boldini comes to town.
SINNERS NEVER DIE was republished as a Wakefield Press Crime Classic.
I've mentioned them before with reference to Forgotten Book: DEATH IN DREAMTIME, SH Courtier

Kerrie - Oh, thanks for this! I admit, I'm not familiar with Martin's work, although I'd heard of it. Time for me to repair that gap!!
What a great cover! It reminds me of the cover on the new edition of Leo Bruce's CASE WITH FOUR CLOWNS.
