I’ve enjoyed this series, and I’m sorry to see it end (although I am hoping that hint towards the end was prepping us for more Belinda Blake books-hint, hint). #CozyMystery #BookReview Click To TweetĪs with the other books in the series, this is a fun mystery with no on-the-page violence but plenty of humour, witty dialogue, and great characters. Belinda Blake and the Birds of a Feather by Heather Day Gilbert is a fun mystery with plenty of humour, witty dialogue, and great characters. The novel is written in first person, and her quirky voice works well as a narrator.

She has two jobs: she’s a video game reviewer who probably understands more of what my teenage son says than I do, and she babysits exotic pets: snakes, wolves, and pigeons, among others. Belinda is a great character-fun, intelligent, and slightly weird. While she’s there, she gets pulled into caring for the lady’s homing pigeons … and investigating a suspicious death in the neighbourhood.
