It was the worst crime a bird watcher could commit. Amy always ended up with the largest bird list at the end of the day. She swore she had sighted birds nobody else had glimpsed or heard. Sightings, moreover, which, due to the season or the region, were not just unlikely but downright impossible. Amy was a cheat. Set in rugged Victorian bushland, The keeper of the nest is the story of an apparently mild-mannered group of bird watchers, intent on pursuing their hobby. Or are they? A novel of quiet observation of human behaviour, unresolved tensions from the past, and birds, The Keeper of the Nest is also about murder...(Publisher's blurb, back cover).
