St. Martin’s Minotaur, 2008, 228 pps.
Bird watching can be dangerous. Just ask Torie O’Shea. Torie reluctantly agreed to compete in the First Annual Bird Olympics of New Kassel, Missouri. Torie and her partner Eleanore Murdoch end up ducking bullets and running for their lives.
This is the beginning of a mystery surrounding Torie’s family and the famous Morgan Family singers. Glen Morgan shows up at the Kendall House, Torie’s new textile museum with information that Torie’s family history contains a few errors. This is unthinkable as far as Torie is concerned and her investigation takes her down a dangerous path that uncovers the true story of the disappearance of Isabelle Mercer year ago.
MacPherson’s books get better and better. The characters are unusual and funny and New Kassel sounds like a wonderful place to live.
