When Bob White finds a birding colleague dead in a pool of coffee at the annual December meeting of the Minnesota Ornithologists’ Union, he finds himself targeted by bad luck and an unknown killer. Adding to his winter blues, Bob’s star Hmong student lands in jail for trespassing in an abandoned brewery, and intrigue among rival birding bloggers catches Bob and his friends in a crossfire. In desperation, Bob must go underground (literally!) to solve the puzzle of unseasonal Chimney Swifts, urban redevelopment, a ghost story, and murder in this sixth book of the Bob White Birder Murder Mysteries.

Another excellent birder mystery by Jan Dunlap. Certainly a surprise ending for me.

Twists and turns.

I can totally relate to Bobs habit of coming to conclusions before I've gotten the complete picture. Love that this author doesn't use vulgarity like too many do . Solid proof a good mystery/story doesn't need it.

A series I enjoy very much. This book was somewhat disjointed and not quite as fun as the other ones, but still a good read. The birding part was interesting and a little bit more thorough than past books, which I appreciate. Would love to see a swift chimney. The mystery not bad, certainly no more ridiculous than most cozies.
