A Bird in the Hand | Ann Cleeves

Pickpick

According to the author, this was her first published whodunit,(1986) which she wrote while she & her husband were living on the tidal island of Hibre, in the Dee.She was pregnant with her first child, so she thought she might write. George Palmer-Jones,retired Home Office agent,& his wife Molly, an ex-social worker, heed the call to see rare bird. P-J a “twitcher”goes to the birding site. A murder occurs early on. I had no idea who to suspect.

TheSpineView Interesting story about the author. 6d
Andrew65 From small acorns…. I‘ve recently read her Inspector Ramsay series that she wrote in the 1990s and they were very enjoyable. Well done 🎉🎉🎉 6d

Dr. Ruth Galloway, a forensic archaeologist, is asked by the police to identify some bones uncovered in the marsh near her home. They turn out to be those of an Iron Age girl but the police nevertheless consult her on ritual elments that seem to be part of a present-day crime.

I enjoyed this very atmospheric story with a very exciting climax that I had to put down several times just to remember to breathe.

kspenmoll Love this series! 2mo
rwmg @kspenmoll I love it as well. I've read the whole series but re-read the first one because my book club is reading it this month. 2mo

Jessie Childs draws Henry Howard for us, complete with his strengths as and weaknesses, neither hero nor villain. And in so doing she illustrates the terrifying times of Henrican England. Henry VIII‘s tyranny, paranoia, megalomania, and hubris are all too familiar in our age. An appropriate read just prior to the upcoming inauguration.#bookedintime @Cuilin

Cuilin Every book I‘m reading lately seems to have parallels to current times, Hard Times, Les Mis, Anna Karenina,, and Tudor Times. I‘m realizing that not enough people read these books or history and it shows. 4mo
Lcsmcat @Cuilin Younailed it. I think a large part in what got us where we are was the demotion of the humanities and the gutting of arts education. 4mo
RamsFan1963 I just read Henry V biography by Dan Jones, and now I'm reading The War of The Roses, also by Jones. It sounds like something I need to read next. 4mo
Lcsmcat @RamsFan1963 I‘ve not read anything by him. I‘ll have to check him out. 4mo
Cuilin @RamsFan1963 I read The Plantagenets, it was so good. I have Henry V on my TBR and now I‘m adding The War of the Roses. 4mo

I picked this up because I heard the author on a panel about the Tudor era, and so far it doesn‘t disappoint.
