The Most Diminutive of Birds
Summary
The Most Diminutive of Birds, set in London and Yorkshire, England, is a dark psychological thriller that traces one woman's descent into hell and back again. Three families are forever affected when their lives intertwine in unexpected ways, and they are forced to face their inner and outer demons. A detective is linked by his obsession with the killer he is searching for: a figure seemingly elusive but strangely present. The listener is drawn inexorably into the mind of the killer, and an empathy develops. Intimate in scope yet universal in theme, the audiobook shows how we all can be at the mercy of emotional forces beyond our control, and only by accepting the past that haunts us can we move into a brighter future.
