“Why the hell can‘t he stay at home and be a normal druid?” (IYKYK)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A well-known birdwatcher is found dead in a marsh pool but killed by a blow to the head. The father of a young birdwatcher who is one of the suspects asks George Palmer-Jones to investigate.

One of the author's earlier works, from the 1980s. It nods towards the classic mystery mode, but is trying to break free, quite literally as characters rush about from Norfolk to the Scilly Isles to the North of Scotland at a moment's notice.

This was an enjoyable read. What I loved most about the novel is Ruth. I look forward to getting to know her better and better in the series which I will continue. It ended up that I was less impressed with the murder mystery aspect. As has been typical for me, I figure it out soon and then, am like, “let‘s get on with and spill the beans”. I loved the other unrelated novel surprises although some events I did not buy. In sum, Ruth is great⭐️⭐️⭐️

I still like characters and I think they're the best part in the series. But somehow I was hoping to see more interaction between them.

This felt a bit dry, this was again a cozy mystery so I wasn't expecting to have thrilling scenes. But I think I was hoping to get more of the characters.

Boo #10 in the Hidden Norfolk series. An odd murder, then a double murder, with both victims having loose ties to Tom. We see his shell crack a bit in this one.

I can‘t find this since my recent move. I‘m gonna soon buy a new copy if I can‘t lay my hands on it. It will be after finishing “The Burgess Boys” now.

Characters are likable and realistic, and I like them more and more after every book.

I am not a big fun of this kind of crimes: deaths that have happened during the war. They doesn't feel intriguing enough, somehow. That made this book worse than the first books in the series, this was boring. And then there was a side story that had nothing to do with the main plot and felt super unnecessary.

I still love the setting!

The thing I love in this series is interesting characters. Mysteries aren't that exciting and things get revealed pretty slowly. But I enjoy these books because they are cozy so they are the right choice if I want to read something comfortable. I love to follow characters' lives, for example now I was curious to see if someone starts a relationship with someone or not.

It's always lovely to be back with these characters.

I wasn't super intrigued by the mystery in this book. But this was a comfort read for me and worked really well for that.
