Books like A bird in the hand by Ann Cleeves


When renowned biologist Tom French is found dead on a Norfolk marsh, his death shocks the birdwatching community that had just put the village of Rushy on the map. George Palmer‑Jones, an elderly birdwatcher who has spent his life tracking rare species, takes it upon himself to investigate. With the help of his wife Molly, George sifts through the village’s mixed feelings, envy, and hidden motives that may have driven a murderer to kill. As rumors of a rare sighting swirl, George follows the clues left behind by a killer and must prove the identity of the suspect before another birdwatching enthusiast is taken.
