A Murder of Crows – Not your Average Thriller Novel but A Rare Treat for Fiction Lovers

A Murder of Crows is a promising, feel-good page-turner. The author’s writing is so good that you don’t notice how time passes by or pause to see how many more pages are left. Starting from the smart word play in the title to the ability to beautifully blend in details of ecology with a murder mystery, the storytelling is almost perfect. The narration also smoothly alternates between light moments and the more serious ones, as we experience spontaneous, witty humour, romance that feels deep, and the curiousity to learn what happens next. Sarah Yarwood-Lovett delivers the complete package, not just another thriller story.
