Detective Chief Inspector Domenic Jejeune is new to Saltmarsh, but his reputation has come before him. Success in a high profile case has made him the poster boy for the police. There's a snag though: Jejeune isn't ''actually'' that keen on the job. He'd much rather be out birdwatching, but that doesn't bring in an income and there's a simple fact. Jejeune is ''very'' a very good detective, with insights which few other people possess. There's one advantage to the job too: Saltmarsh is situated in North Norfolk, the UK's premier birding country but sometimes Jejeune's mind is more on the birds than the job.
As well as reading the book I listened to an audio download (which I paid for myself) read by David Thorpe and it was a real pleasure. Thorpe captured Jejeune's Canadian accent perfectly and it was a delightful contrast to the Norfolk burr. I'm planning on listening to more from the series. I would like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag.
I think there is some benefit to reading the books in chronological order, although I haven't come across any spoilers. You'll find a list [[Steve Burrows' DCI Domenic Jejeune' Birder Murder Mysteries in Chronological Order|here]]. You might also appreciate [[Mr Nobody by Catherine Steadman]]. {{amazontext|amazon=1780748434}}
