The Birds That Stay | Ann Lambert
12 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
The murder of a reclusive older woman proves that history will not stay buried. In a small village in the Laurentians north of Montreal, a reclusive older woman is found strangled and frozen outside her home. Romo LeBlanc, the enigmatic Chief Inspector for Homicide, is one day away from his first vacation in years, and reluctantly answers the call on the case. Romo suspects a local biker gang is involved in what appears to be a robbery gone awry--or was the old woman a victim of a violent hate crime? Marie Russell, a 58-year old writer and divorced mother of two, lives next door to the victim. Marie becomes an inadvertent detective when her mother, suffering from dementia, offers a startling clue that links the woman's murder to a terrible incident that happened on Marie's suburban Montreal street in the 1970's. Together, Marie and Romo discover that the murder goes even further back, to another crime during the darkest days in Hungary at the end of WWII. As they combine wits to find the killer, they are forced to face demons from their own pasts as they confront a cast of characters from the Quebec of yesterday and today; where no one and nothing is really as it seems.

The Birds That Stay is a truly original story. I was invested in this story from the beginning. Who would kill an eighty two year old woman? So much is revealed during the investigation. Thank you Netgalley and ECW press for this ARC. #TheBirdsThatStay #NetGalley

Beautiful blue skies, soft breezes. Perfect day for apple picking at a local orchard (10 min away; so lucky). Also just had to get cider and apple cider donuts. Snacking and reading. 📚🍎

Daisey My day today is pretty much all about books and apples. It‘s starting to feel like fall! I was able to pick apples at friend‘s yesterday and am making a few things today. Hope you enjoy yours! 🍎 🍏 4y

Zelma Yum! I almost bought some cider at the store yesterday and now I regret not doing so. I am craving it so much, but I also need some fall temps here. It‘s in the 90s today. 🤬 4y
Ncostell Sounds delicious! I think I might go apple picking tomorrow too. Love this time of year and love those apple cider donuts! 4y

A promising start to a new Canadian mystery series! She's heavy handed with the social political commentary and inserting ALL the issues into one book, but I enjoyed this overall. Looking forward to the next in the series!

I know I said I would read The Weight of Ink, but I have to let my Kobo charge after reading The Lost Queen. I started this one and I'm really enjoying already. #CanLit #ARC

“It was then that Louis realized the pile of rags was a person, and as he hobbled closer, he saw it was Madame Newman, lying face down in an empty flower bed.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5!
