Steve Burrows has pursued his birdwatching hobby on five continents. He is a former editor of the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society Magazine and a contributing field editor for Asian Geographic. Steve now lives in Oshawa, Ontario.
... a fun, smart and satisfying read just like its predecessor.
A murder plot built around birdwatching doesn?t, at first, seem plausible or even possible. But Oshawa author Burrows pulls it off in a dazzling debut novel sure to make the shortlist for next year?s Arthur Ellis. . . Riveting from first page to final line.
Filled with clues, dead ends . . . and blinding moments of 'Eureka!'
A cleverly written novel that proves A Siege of Bitterns wasn?t just an offbeat one-off. This blend of procedural and cozy is just right for followers of M. C. Beaton?s Hamish Macbeth.
You don?t have to be a bird watcher to enjoy Burrows . . .
While Jejeune may not be too enthusiastic about his profession, it?s easy to be enthusiastic about Burrows? first mystery, and I?m looking forward to more fowl play in the future.
Finally, a solid, well-constructed murder mystery that happens to involve a subject with which many mystery readers might not be familiar.
This second mystery is as engaging as the first.
[T]his second book in the birder mystery series is sure to delight.
