3.0

This one surprised me, but perhaps not in the ways intended. A shock ending felt thematically unnecessary, which will impact the rest of the books in the series. I thought this slow-paced bird-watching locked room mystery would be a skippable story, but it feels as if the ending was thrown in to make it an unmissable addition to the series - just not in a good way.
