You've always got to listen to the birds.

In a tiny town on the North Norfolk coast, Fran's life is unraveling.

As she fills her days cleaning the caravan park she owns, she is preoccupied by worry - about the behavior of her son, the absences of her husband and her strained relationship with her sister's family. Her one source of relief: early in the mornings, before the responsibilities and uncertainties take over, she slips out to the beach to watch the birds.

Small-town tension simmers all around her when a new teacher starts at the local school and a Romany community settle in the field adjoining her caravan park. Not to mention the beheaded birds that have started appearing across the town.

Then the schoolteacher and Fran's brother-in-law both go missing on the same night. But all Fran can seem to care about is the birds.

Meanwhile, Tad, a seventy-year-old Romany man, watches the townspeople from the distance of his caravan - and sees everything clearly.

Bird Spotting in a Small Town is an unsettling story of strange occurrences and buried secrets, perfectly evoking the eerie isolation of life in a small community when nothing feels quite right.

Recenzijas

A haunting, disquieting novel, exquisitely written. The detail throughout is like acupuncture and the whole thing is difficult to pull away from. I read it in short bursts because each sitting left me with something new to think about -- Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants Morton-Thomas challenges assumptions about class in this atmospheric piece of rural noir * Sunday Times * A remarkable feat of storytelling rich with a literary feel ... The setting, atmosphere, characters who see the world through a mirky window pane, strained relationships, deeply troubling events... it's slow burn psychological crime which warns that buried secrets will come back to hurt you -- Crime Fiction Lover A slow, dark, slippery tale set on the Norfolk coast... Disquieting and atmospheric, this is a book which lingers in the mind -- Sussex Life 'Book of the Month' The kind of book that gets under your skin, hugely atmospheric and dark in the best possible way -- Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things

Sophie Morton-Thomas was born in West Sussex and has always loved reading and writing - she had about ten penfriends as a child.
