The Conjuror's Bird by Martin Davies

5.0

There's something to be said about re-reading a book you read first in 2016 - all new to me :-) This really is a wonderful tale of a rare bird found in the 1700s, stuffed, and then goes missing. The search is on, conducted by a nefarious scoundrel who's in it for the money, a conservationist who really cares about its preservation, and an amateur sleuth/taxidermist who's interest is in saving the bird from being torn apart for its genetic heritage. And there's some light romance in there too. A very nice read indeed.
