New character introduced that added some depth. A bit more on edge than the earlier ones, but I thought it was a nice mixture.

The best one yet! The characters are all established now and I really like the dynamic of the police team. In this one Jejuene's personal life gets more complicated which added another layer of tension.

Another good entry in this enjoyable series of mysteries with a birdwatching theme.

Rounding down from a 4.25. I had to buy this book as the library doesn't carry it but I have enjoyed the series so far and this feels like the best one yet. Complicated, timely topics, and with compelling characters, it was a joy to read and one of the few books lately I couldn't put down. I am a backyard birder so the bird watching aspect was interesting. The author did such a good job making his cast of characters come alive in their different personalities. Well done!

In northern Scotland one man watches another fall down a cliff face to his death and then retrieves items from the body.
When Domenic Jejeune of Norfolk police is shown the bird book from the body with his name on he can truthfully say he had never seen the book before.
Then coincidentally his brother, Damian, appears in Scotland and they travel back to Norfolk so Domenic can determine the murderer of a scientist. Is there any connection between the two deaths?
A NetGalley free book.

I like the story with the mysterious stranger and the relationships with all the characters. I was less than enthusiastic with the mystery part.... looking forward to #4. Burrows is an excellent writer building suspense with the characters
