A Siege of Bitterns by Steve Burrows
Winner of the Arthur Ellis Award 2015 Newly appointed police inspector Domenic Jejeune doesnt mind ruffling a few feathers to flush out suspects in the brutal murder of a renowned ecological activist'Most entertaining'
* The Times *‘Entertaining, instructive and amusing’.
* The Comet *'I didn't realise trying to spot rare birds could be so ruthlessly competitive, with fowl play as a result in this Midsomer-ish case'.
* Peterborough Telegraph *'A sound plot and well-drawn characters within the police and from all sides of Norfolk's ecological issues make for a most entertaining read'.
* The Times *'The books are well written…and instructive. We are promised a series of birder murder stories: good!'
* Literary Review *'It's always nice to come across a new angle in crime fiction…this is an entertaining visit to the Norfolk coast and a good introduction to the world of birders'.
* Crime Review *'A new genre is born: the "birder murder"'.
* Sunday Times Crime Club *'One of the most delightful…mysteries of recent years'.
* Daily Mail *‘A murder plot built around birdwatching doesn’t, at first, seem plausible or even possible. But Burrows pulls it off in a dazzling debut... Riveting from first page to final line.’
* Globe and Mail *‘While Jejeune may not be too enthusiastic about his profession, it’s easy to be enthusiastic about Burrows’ first mystery, and I’m looking forward to more fowl play in the future.’
* National Post *‘Finally, a solid, well-constructed murder mystery that happens to involve a subject with which many mystery readers might not be familiar.’
* Booklist *'Filled with clues dead ends ... and blinding moments of “Eureka!'
* Owen-Sound Sun Times *Steve Burrows has pursued his birdwatching hobby on six continents. He is a former editor of the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society magazine and a contributing field editor for Asian Geographic. Steve now lives with his wife, Resa, in Oshawa, Ontario.
