Newly appointed police inspector Domenic Jejeune doesn't mind ruffling a few feathers. His success has elevated him into a poster boy for the police. The problem is Jejeune doesn't really want to be a detective at all; he much prefers watching birds.

Recently reassigned to the small Norfolk town of Saltmarsh, Jejeune's two worlds collide with the grisly murder of a prominent ecological activist. Jejeune must call on all his birding knowhow to solve the mystery and deal with unwelcome public acclaim, the mistrust of colleagues and his own insecurities. For in the case of the Saltmarsh birder murders, the victims may not be the only casualties....

Great, exciting story, and the narrator was fun to listen to. He did a great job giving the characters their own unique voices and quirks.

Excellent

Not exactly a page turner but intriguing enough to keep me listening, especially after a somewhat slow start. Stay with it - as you get to know the well drawn characters it gets more exciting. Steve Burrows is an excellent writer - his prose is almost poetic.

An environmental theme with some interesting bits of information about birds. The way the murder is solved is very cool.

David Thorpe is one of the best narrators and does a splendid job in this book. His regional accents are fun and distinctive and I like the way he does Canadian.

I highly recommend A Siege of Bitterns to lovers of British mysteries, especially those who like intelligent plots and are fond of nature. I hope many readers discover this book and enjoy it as much as I did.

Good mystery, superb narrator - excellent listen!

Book begins slowly, so slowly I nearly quit listening. But I am so pleased to have finished. The more I listened, the more I became intrigued with the characters and story line. No traditional police procedural, but Je Jeune is one of the most interesting DCI's I have had the pleasure of meeting. I learned a lot about birding and ecology as well.Good narration.

A cozy mystery this is not. It is an unusual and thoroughly good one.

This is the first in a series of three books about a serious "birder"detective new to a small community on the coast in England. Being from Canada, it takes him a while to know the land. He's a celebrity for solving earlier murders and must work hard to uphold his reputation although he doesn't care to be in the limelight. His first crime here involves a complex understanding of environmental issues of the salt marshes and the passions of the residents whose lives revolve around protecting them. Not an easy case to solve. He also has a leadership style that doesn't fit well with his new team or his supervisor. I enjoyed the narrator as his voices fit the story well. I hope there will be more books from this author in the future. The birding element of all three books keeps my interest.
