In England's birdwatching paradise, a new breed has been sighted-a murderer . . . Young Tom French was found dead, lying in a marsh on the Norfolk coast, with his head bashed in and his binoculars still around his neck. One of the best birders in England, Tom had put the village of Rushy on the birdwatching map. Everyone liked him. Or did they? George Palmer-Jones, an elderly birdwatcher who decided quietly to look into the brutal crime, discovered mixed feelings aplenty. Still, he remained baffled by a deed that could have been motivated by thwarted love, pure envy, or something else altogether. But as he and his fellow "twitchers" flocked from Norfolk to Scotland to the Scilly Isles, in response to rumours of rare sightings, George-with help from his lovely wife, Molly-gradually discerned the true markings of a killer. All he had to do was prove it . . . before the murderer strikes again.

The very best of British mysteries!
By Patrick W. Crabtree
I've read hundreds of both British mysteries and cosy murders, including ALL of Christie, Tey, Sayers, Doyle, Marsh, Rinehart, Rendell, etc. -- Ann Cleeves clearly deserves to be mentioned in association with, or even elevated above, that notable league of authors.
"A Bird in the Hand" is one of my very favorite cozy murders ever. It's the story of a young and aggressive birdwatcher whose corpse turns up in the marshes of a nearby wildlife reserve. The victim was only ever superficially tolerated by his associates and, as retired Home Office investigator George Palmer-Jones investigates the murder, suspects begin to emerge like blue-bottles from a garbage can.
The author weaves in plenty of juicy clues and superlative sub-plots. There's plenty to savour here, not the least of which include the great locations and the gratifying atmosphere.
Palmer-Jones is a "gentleman detective" who is also infinitely human when it comes to occasional mis-steps and, thus, the reader is empowered to see the case from his point of view. It's through shrewd persistence that Palmer-Jones ultimately prevails.
This one is in my top five of all mysteries and I cannot say enough good about it.

Anne Cleeves first mystery: A great start..
By Elton S.
After reading Anne Cleeves Shetland quartet, I had to find her early books. It involved a search of the used book market. They are hard to find, but well worth the search. The well constucted, fast moving story involves british bird twichers and murder on the shore of east England. A book made for bird watchers and mystery novels.

A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH???
By Margaret M. Robinson
I'm a fairly new reader of Ann Cleeves books (all the Shetland series and one of the Vera Stanhope series), I thought I'd give her first book a try. A book about bird watching wouldn't ordinarily catch my attention and as one of the reviewers pointed out, it is a little plodding and certainly full of a lot of details. However, I consider none of that negative as it was her first book and many new writers feel the need to "explain" it all. I just went with it and read the whole book. It turned out far more interesting and intriguing than I first thought and you can see how Cleeves as evolved over the years. It has an interesting storyline and thankfully describes what "twitchers" do when out and about looking at birds. Felt the details were important as red herrings and get you to really think about who the story would play out. Once you hit your stride with this book, it's really a good read and I'm impressed by the talent that you see, even with this first book.
