A birding group from the US travels to Iceland but disaster strikes and one of their main members (who dislikes puffins by the way!!) is found dead. The sleuth is a zookeeper from California who is in the country to pick up a polar bear and other animals for their northern climes exhibit.
Loved the animals and Iceland, but didn‘t really care about any of the characters. This is book four in the series so that may have something to do with it
