A classic cozy mystery, The Case of the Hook-Billed Kites marks the debut of J.S. Borthwick's beloved amateur sleuth Sarah Deane and her love interest, Dr. Alex McKenzie. Set against the lush, atmospheric backdrop of a Texas birding sanctuary, the novel weaves together the world of competitive birdwatching with murder most foul, when a fellow birder is found dead and the local authorities are baffled. Borthwick constructs a suspenseful and witty narrative that balances sharp character observations with genuine mystery, making the South Texas landscape as much a character as the human cast. With a dry sense of humour and a keen eye for eccentric personalities, this debut announced the arrival of a fresh and distinctive voice in American mystery writing.
