Friday's Forgotten Books this week is being hosted by the improvisatory and impulsive Todd Mason.
This week I want to point you to a series that should not be forgotten, but that many people would be unaware of.
It is a series that Ann Cleeves, better known for her "Shetland" series, published over a 10 year period.
I've only read two of the series, some years apart, but really should look for more.
Just last week I reviewed MURDER IN PARADISE and on that page you will also find a mini-review of SEA FEVER.
At the beginning of the series George Palmer-Jones, a public servant, and an elderly birdwatcher, is on the verge of retirement. His love of twitching takes him all over the UK, and his twitching nose involves him in a series of murder investigations, sometimes leading him into dangeous situations. In some titles his wife Molly accompanies him.
Palmer-Jones
1. A Bird In The Hand (1986)
2. Come Death and High Water (1987)
3. Murder In Paradise (1988)
4. A Prey To Murder (1989)
5. Sea Fever (1991)
6. Another Man's Poison (1992)
7. The Mill On The Shore (1994)
8. High Island Blues (1996)
Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read.
Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution,
will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

Kerrie - Thanks for this. I don't know nearly enough about this series, and it's nice to be "introduced." :-).
I love that cover on SEA FEVER. I'll have to track that down!
