This review is from: The Murder Bird (Paperback)

Kirsten Waller, a famous poet, is found dead in her bath in a lonely Cornish cottage. The verdict is suicide.

Ms Waller's daughter, Sam refuses to accept this. Is she right? Kirsten's journal is missing as is the poem she was working on - The Murder Bird - just before she died. This novel combines Sam's search for truth with aspects of the lives of others who are also (however inadvertently) caught up in the circle around Kirsten, Sam, and her mother's former partner Raph. Sorting red herrings from facts, interpreting some of the psychological mind games and finding out what really happened and why, makes this an enjoyable novel. A great combination of crime and mystery.

This is the first novel of Ms Hines's that I have read. I've added the others to my `must read list'.
