The Rhyme of the Magpie (Birds of a Feather Mystery 1)

One for sorrow. Two for joy. Three for murder?

Nothing can spoil Jools’s cozy night in. Except maybe a visit from her famous father, Rupert Lanchester. Ornithologist célèbre and the most dashing silver fox on English telly.

He turns up on the doorstep of her quaint little Suffolk cottage, desperate to get something off his chest. Jools doesn’t want to hear another word about her glamorous yet snooty new stepmum. She gives him short shrift and sends him on his way.

Next morning, he’s vanished without a trace.

Jools and Michael Sedgwick, her father’s infuriatingly dapper new assistant, team up to go looking for Rupert. What they find is a dead body!

Can Jools unravel this knotty nest of murder and mystery, before the predator swoops again . . . ?
