Birds of Wonder by Cynthia Robinson

4.0

Going into this book when I started I was a little nervous with the many characters POV’s but soon I was lost in the unique and artistic story. The book opens with Beatrice a teacher who stumbles upon the dead body of the star of a high school play the victims name is Amber. Beatrice then calls her daughter Jes whose an officer. It is obvious that they have relationship issues I don’t want to give to much away about that . When Jess begins her investigation the suspicions soon falls on Ambers employer Liam Walsh and some other mysterious and creepy characters. Soon Jess is distracted by her affair with Liam who is definitely a top suspect. With a murder of a beautiful High-school girl soon secrets are exposed in their small town and some secrets people would rather they stay hidden. I loved all the bird references and it definitely held my interest and the story line and short sentences really drew me in. This was an amazing debut by the author and I loved how it all came together in the end. I will say this was a character driven story and each character played their part perfect in the book. Jess and Beatrice’s relationship irritated me at times with Jess’s animosity , but by the end you will know why and it’s made very clear! I give this a solid five stars!
