Danger and suspense

While out birdwatching Gertie finds a dead body and a rare bird that starts quite the investigation into the murder and how to save the park. There's danger, suspense and humor that will keep you reading. At the cribbage match between Gertie and Celia the interaction made you feel like you were there watching everything go down and trying not to laugh. This book is fast paced, and I really got into the investigation and hopefully another book will come out of this with some of the new characters being introduced.
