Although there are a few points where the prose doesn't flow as well or the exposition is a little heavy, I raced through this book, unable to put it down.

Its a well crafted plot with good well identified characters but for me it seemed more 'a woman's book' ( am I still allowed to say things like that?) written by a woman primarily, I suspect, for a female reader.There is much made of the love interests and in this respect, the ending reminded me of '4 weddings and a funeral' although I'm not sure why. Tig Torres investigates Hollow Falls' horrific history in this original novel based on the hit podcast Lethal Lit from Einhorn's Epic Productions and iHeartRadio! A Murder Of Crows is a literary crime novel with a beautifully dark and sinister tone to it, within a small claustrophobic setting which is descriptively immersive – I fell into it and didn’t really look up until I was done. DISCLOSURE: Thank you to Embla Books via Netgalley for providing a digital ARC of A Murder of Crows by Sarah Yarwood-Lovett for review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own personal opinions.As a reader, I really love a mystery that is well-crafted and keeps the reader guessing right to the very end. ‘A Murder Of Crows’ is one such book, and I find myself unable to recommend it highly enough. He’s a freelance inquisitor. . . I don’t want him after me. Because he’s completely insane and kills for fun and Heneage protects him, gives him completely free rein.’ Dr Nell Ward is an ecologist. You didn’t know you would become so interested in the lives of bats. This was to lead Nell to become number one suspect in a local murder. Nell will have plentiful choices to make both in love and trying to clear her name. Dr Nell Ward is an ecologist, not a detective. But when she's the prime suspect in a murder, only her unique set of skills could help to clear her name... In the sleepy village of Cookingdean, Dr Nell Ward is busy working in the grounds of a local manor house. Whilst inspecting an old tunnel, the last thing she expects to overhear is a murder. As the only person with any clues as to what happened, Nell soon finds herself in the middle of the investigation.

Other than those few things I did enjoy this book and though it might not have made an impression that I will remember a few years from now, it easily brought me out of a huge reading slump.This was pretty good for a first effort, good enough that I am going to give the second book in the series a try. But it was a bit uneven. I was not sure which of the main characters the reader was supposed to be bonding with on a more emotional level until the very end. I was not even sure who the hero of the book actually was. I identified the murderer very early on, and I don't know if the author intended that or if she slipped up. Nell, I can see where you are. You're still sharing your location with me from doing the survey. What the bloody hell are you doing?' The most violent thunderstorm in living memory occurs above a sleepy village on the West Coast of Scotland. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now.

It’s like reading gossip magazines that are several hundred years old. Whole power structures rose and fell on the jealousies of the nobility and the notoriously moody whims of rulers. What we’re experiencing in today’s politics is nothing new.Carey's offsider, Sergeant Dodd, is the star of this book and he is a delight. The way he solves courtly London problems with Scots countryside logic is wonderful to behold.

What better introduction to teenage investigators who solve a complex series of murder, past and present. The teens use the newspaper archives, on microfilm, explore older books and maps, and follow clues to find out just what Founders Day has to do with Murder of Crows. More they solve crimes and prevent even more murders from occurring. Detective Clifford Dubose receives a copy of Russell's book from an anonymous sender and realizes that the murders in the book are identical to the real-life deaths of five attorneys that were written off as accidents or suicides. Russell is arrested and charged with the murder of the attorneys. He hires his former colleague Elizabeth Pope to defend him and tells her about Marlowe and the manuscript. She doesn't believe him and drops him as a client. Dubose searches Russell's home and finds hidden pictures of all the dead attorneys. Russell realizes he is being framed and goes on the run. So many possible suspects! All I knew for certain was that Nell was not the murderer. I suspected literally every other character available. There was a lot of ecological information regarding bats, and regarding ecological surveys. So, I accidentally learned something as well as being entertained. As I said the characters are all oddballs. Most of them are well drawn and as the novel progresses explanations for their behaviour are slowly revealed but it's all a bit OTT in the one novel. The fish—true fish, at any rate—are the easiest to classify. They come in schools. No, not that school: this particular word comes from a Middle Dutch word that refers to a group of animals together. Fish also come in shoals, which comes from an Old English word that means "multitudes." If it's a group of one type of aquatic mammal—whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals—then they tend to gather in pods.A Murder of Crows is the début instalment in Sarah Yarwood-Lovett's brand new series featuring ecologist, Dr Nell Ward and its set in a village called Cookingdean, near Pendlebury, south-east England.
