Before her more well-known mystery series came to the fore, Ann Cleeves wrote other mysteries. "A Bird in the Hand" was first published in the ‘80s. It has been reissued as has at least one more book in the series that I know of.

"A Bird in the Hand" started with the murder of a birder and George Palmer-Jones, an elderly birdwatcher, was asked to look into the death. Through the investigation the reader comes to know various people in the birding community on the Norfolk coast and there were some dicey ones. George also took a side trip to the Scilly Isles to find out more background information. It was a good mystery although there were a lot of characters to keep track of.

Ann Cleeves writes interesting mysteries that draw the reader to press on in the story. This is my first Matthew Venn novel and I am uncertain if I like him.

Matthew must also cope with his husband, Jonathan. The terrible weather figures into the story as human emotion and the weather vie for dominance. What is the motive for the terrible murder of Jem Rosco, a famous sailor and adventurer? Who has reason to kill Jem? The novel follows all the suspects that Matthew suspects as he attempts to reconnect with his mother. Too many characters and not a great motive for all the deaths.… (lisätietoja)
