Intriguing!

The Butcher Bird weaves an intriguing mystery tale that holds the reader's attention until the plot is revealed. The story is not for the "faint at heart" as it reveals the shadow side of human nature. However, for those who want to hunker down with a mind-tingling search to solve a strange murder, the Butcher Bird captures the imagination. A good backpacking book to carry along and absorb your thoughts away from the hum-drum workaday world. nancydale@yahoo.com
