I really enjoyed this mystery where an ecologist focused on bats is the main suspect as well as the person who solves the crime. I think bats are pretty nifty so I loved learning so much about them. The characters were interesting and conflicted, the setting of the woods and bat and badger and dormouse environments was fascinating, and despite the violence and blood, I was left with a warm feeling for the main character and her good intentions. 

A good start to what I hope will be a rewarding and informative - and fun - mystery series.
