Guilty Creatures: A Menagerie of Mysteries Anthology by Martin Edwards (Editor), Various Authors (Listed Below)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 550 KB
Overview: “Curiously enough,” said Dr. Manners, “I know a story in which the detection of a murder turned on the behaviour of a bird: in this instance a jackdaw.”
