Could not get into this book. As much as I enjoy watching the birds in my backyard, this book tells me far more than I want to know about birds! Sarah Deane takes a break from graduate shcool and heads for sunny Southern Texas to join her boyfriend, Philip, on a birdwatching expedition. Philip's rare sighting of a pair of hook-billed kites gets things off to a great start until he ends up strangled by his binocular straps and the rest of the birders are both suspects and sitting ducks.
