Críticas:

Memorable characters play out against a web of unexpected plot twists and surprises.--Midwest Book Review A suspenseful and well-crafted mystery ideal for the beach.--The Morning Star Smart, funny and nerdy (grammar and birdwatching are among characters' preoccupations) with the most endearing feminist bent. This third book is the best one yet.--49th Shelf A series that continues to get better with each book.--Reviewing the Evidence A fun crime and criminals read.--The Sun Times Burrows skilfully makes his birds and birding an integral part of the plot, just as he brings Jejeune's personal drama into this suspenseful and well-constructed mystery.--Publishers Weekly His writing is gripping and the storyline will keep any reader turning the pages, but the bird-watching references woven into his prose are again a real treat for birders.--London Free Press It's clear where Burrows is taking this series -- more birds, and more murder. That's a good thing.--The Globe and Mail Burrows knows how to create tension and suspense with both police and civilian characters. This books comes highly recommended.--Waterloo Region Record Burrows' bird-watching expertise lends authenticity to an excellent mystery whose conflicted protagonist faces hard decisions.--Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor:

The threat from above casts a dark shadow. A man falls to his death from a cliff face in western Scotland. From a distance, another man watches. He approaches the body, tucks a book into the dead man's pocket, and leaves. When the Scottish police show visiting Detective Chief Inspector Domenic Jejeune the book, he recognizes it as a call for help. But he also knows that answering that call could destroy the life he and his girlfriend Lindy have built for themselves in the village of Saltmarsh, in north Norfolk. Back in Saltmarsh, the brutal murder of a researcher involved in a local climate change project has everyone looking at the man's controversial studies as a motive. But Sergeant Danny Maik, heading the investigation in Jejeune's absence, believes a huge cash incentive being offered for the research may play a crucial role. With their beleaguered Chief Superintendent blocking every attempt to interview the project's uber-wealthy owners, Jejeune and Maik must work together to find their answers. But will the men's partnership survive when the danger from above begins to cast its dark shadow?
