Hello, all.
A few months ago, someone (I don't recall who) posted that Steve Burrows
had written two birder murder mysteries:
1. /A Siege of Bitterns/: the Halifax Regional library system has 8
copies, and I'm most of the way through one copy of it -- paperback,
352 pages.
2. /Pitying of Doves:/ the Halifax Regional library system has 5 copies
on order, expected this month.
In /A Siege of Bitterns,/ the first murder victim is an environmental
activist and birder, and the chief investigator is a birder as well. The
back cover indicates that the author has pursued birdwatching on five
continents.
The progress of the murder investigation reveals details that would be
understood best by birders. Although the book is written much like any
of a host of mystery novels we might have read, this book could not have
been written by a non-birder. The story takes place in England, but the
author lives in Canada.
cheers,
Bob Lindsay
