"It's splendid - a classic whodunnit" - Bill OddieBiologist Dr. Still, he remained baffled by a deed that could have been motivated by thwarted love, pure envy, or something else altogether.īut as he and his fellow “twitchers” flocked from Norfolk to Scotland to the Scilly Isles, in response to rumours of rare sightings, George – with help from his lovely wife, Molly – gradually discerned the true markings of a killer. George Palmer-Jones, an elderly birdwatcher who decided quietly to look into the brutal crime, discovered mixed feelings aplenty. One of the best birders in England, Tom had put the village of Rushy on the birdwatching map. Young Tom French was found dead, lying in a marsh on the Norfolk coast, with his head bashed in and his binoculars still around his neck. In England’s birdwatching paradise, a new breed has been sighted – a murderer. A Bird in the Hand is the first novel featuring George and Molly Palmer-Jones by Ann Cleeves, author of the Shetland and Vera Stanhope crime series.
