Chief Inspector Domenic Jejeune hopes an overseas birding trip will hold some clues to solving his fugitive brother’s manslaughter case. Meanwhile, in Jejeune’s absence his long-time nemesis has been drafted in as cover to investigate an accountant’s murder. And unfortunately Marvin Laraby proves just a bit too effective in showing how an investigation should be handled.

With the manslaughter case poised to claim another victim, Jejeune learns an accident back home involving his girlfriend, Lindy, is much more than it seems. Lindy is in grave danger, and she needs Jejeune. Soon, he is faced with a further dilemma. He can speak up on a secret he has discovered to Laraby’s case, knowing it will cost his job on the north Norfolk coast he loves. Or he can stay silent, and let a killer escape justice. Turns out that sometimes the wrong choice is the only one there is.

Reviews for A Shimmer of Hummingbirds (#4 Birder Murder)

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 `A cleverly written novel that proves A Siege of Bitterns wasn't just an offbeat one-off. This blend of procedural and cosy is just right for followers of M. C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth.' Booklist 'Skillfully written, full of moral ambiguities and artful puzzles, with a spine-tingling final sentence.' * <i>Kirkus</i> starred review * `Burrows' writing improves with every novel, and Jejeune continues to be an exciting, multidimensional, thoroughly engaging series lead. A splendid instalment in a fine series.' * <i>Booklist</i> *
