The sixth instalment of the popular Birder Murder series

A trail of a murder leads Domenic Jejeune across a vast continent…

Newly estranged from his girlfriend, Lindy Hey, Inspector Domenic Jejeune returns to Southern Ontario, where he receives news that his brother, Damian, has gone missing in Wood Buffalo National Park while conducting research on Whooping Cranes. Domenic immediately heads out to try to find him.

Back in the U.K., Jejeune's plan to protect Lindy has failed, and she has been kidnapped by his old foe, Ray Hayes. Jejeune's trusty sergeant, Danny Maik, tracks down Lindy, but there is far more to the situation than he anticipated. With Lindy in imminent danger, Maik is forced into a desperate rescue attempt.

Will either of them survive? And if so, can they find their way back to each other?

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Irresistible...a marvelous series of books.' ― 10,000 Birds blog

'Burrows has the ability to make the North Norfolk coast come alive in a way that few other authors have managed.' ― The Bookbag

Praise for the Birder Murder Mysteries:

'A murder plot built around birdwatching doesn’t, at first, seem plausible or even possible. But Burrows pulls it off... Riveting from first page to final line.' Globe and Mail

'A suspenseful and well-crafted mystery perfect for the beach.’ Morning Star

'A neatly-constructed and well-told police procedural. If you like north Norfolk you'll feel as though you're there. If you like birds you'll feel as though you're in heaven.' The Bookbag

'Skillfully written, full of moral ambiguities and artful puzzles, with a spine-tingling final sentence.' Kirkus starred review

Review

"Add these Birder Murder Mysteries to your reading list. With titles like 'A Siege of Bitterns' and 'A Cast of Falcons' to his name, novelist Steve Burrows mixes birds and whodunits to great acclaim."
―Audubon Magazine

I very much enjoyed this author and the series of birder books. Well written, well-plotted, with characters both quirky and smart, a likeable ensemble cast and interesting interactions spread over the series; plus the most-important feature: the characters grow through the time frame. Much recommended.

As a birder, I always enjoy the interesting birder information Steve Burrows includes in his stories. It's amazing the way this author can weave together three mysteries, three investigations, across two continents, and bring them all to conclusion.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great action story but wait.....

SPOILER: So the story was great, lots of action moving between stories in the UK, Canada and the States; lots of great info on cranes, nd a huge improvement over the last volume in this series (A tiding of magpies). But then I got to the end and realized we never found out who was chasing Annie forcing her into the river??? Damien implied someone was after them when he disabled the InReach gizmos. Did I miss something along the way or was this never addressed? Since I see this as a big hole in the story I've deducted 2 stars...

I have read all of these mysteries and this one didn't disappoint. It does not take place in England, but mostly in Canada. I look forward to the next one to further my knowledge about birds, and for a great mystery!

3.0 out of 5 stars Another chapter in the Birder Murder series
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019
“Newly estranged from girlfriend Lindy Hey, DCI Domenic JeJeune receives news that his brother has gone missing while tracking Whooping Cranes on their migration flight from the US to Canada”
As a backyard birder, I enjoyed A Dance of Cranes, the 6th installment in the ‘Birder Murder’ series.
DCI Jejeune has returned to Canada to investigate the disappearance of his brother Damien; Lindy has remained in the UK and is kidnapped. All the story lines were compelling, but the search for Lindy by Danny Maik was absolutely thrilling.
This is the 6th book in the series and as always there is much about birds and birding, but the writing to me is so descriptive I’m transported to the locations and can practically smell the air.
I appreciate the copy I was provided by LibraryThing, One World Publishing and Steve Burrows. I look forward to more stories in the Birder Murder series.

After reading A Tiding of Magpies I couldn't wait for this, the 6th book in Steve Borrows birder series. I wasn't disappointed. It was an excellent read, though there wasn't any indication that a seventh book is to follow. I Hope so!

4.0 out of 5 stars I i wouldn’t recommend you start reading the series with this book.
Reviewed in Canada on July 30, 2019

I love this author and have read all the ‘birder’ mysteries. This one is even more complex and dark. The story is organized around separate experiences, so the narrative line is not so easy to follow. If you aren’t familiar with the characters already, it might be a challenge to make sense of it. There is a lot of outdoor wilderness action and intense and lengthy descriptions, which I found wearing after a while. But the writing is superb and eventually the plot comes together. Another ambiguous ending.
