Winner of the Arthur Ellis Award 2015, "The Birder Murder Mystery" is a thrilling debut novel by author Simon Moore. Set in the picturesque town of Saltmarsh, nestled in the heart of Britain's premier birding country, the story follows newly appointed police inspector Domenic Jejeune as he navigates through a series of murders that have shaken the community.

Despite his initial reluctance to take on the role of a detective, Jejeune's natural talent and determination lead him to become a poster boy for the police. However, his true passion lies in birdwatching, and he finds himself at odds with his superiors when his best theory in the murder investigation revolves around a feud over birdwatching lists.

As the investigation unfolds, Jejeune must call upon all his birding knowledge to solve the mystery and deal with the unwelcome public acclaim, the mistrust of his colleagues, and his own insecurities. He soon realizes that the victims may not be the only casualties in this case, and that the stakes are much higher than he initially thought.

"The Birder Murder Mystery" is a captivating blend of mystery, suspense, and nature, featuring vivid descriptions of the local birdlife and the beautiful landscapes of Saltmarsh. With its engaging characters, intricate plot, and surprising twists, this novel is sure to delight fans of both mystery and nature writing.

In conclusion, "The Birder Murder Mystery" is a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery, enjoys the beauty of nature, or simply wants to be transported to a charming small town. Simon Moore's debut novel is a triumph, and I eagerly anticipate his future works.
