Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
His writing is fantastic but I just think I'm more of a character reader than the series is meant for

First I want to thank the author for giving me access to an e- arc review copy. I absolutely loved the different take on a cozy mystery. The main characters were over 60 which I really enjoyed. This is just charming and fun. I loved the community of bird lovers even though the terminology was new to me I enjoyed that.On a personal note for me I appreciate the use of terminology usually only heard in the Philadelphia area.  I am waiting excitedly for book two.
