"A deliciously dark novel with the kind of distinctive narrative voice every writer hopes to achieve." --Zibby Owens, bestselling author of Bookends "THE BIRDWATCHER is special, pushing the limits of friendship in a story that's as satisfying as it is heartbreaking, a compelling and insightful novel that readers won't soon forget. I loved this book!" --Karen Dionne, internationally bestselling author of The Marsh King's Daughter "As taut, compelling and unnerving as it is witty and compassionate, The Birdwatcher is one hell of a mystery. Mitchard illuminates friendship, romance and family with a bright and even tender light." --Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of In Bloom "A suspenseful, twisty, and page-turning drama. Fans of Jacquelyn Mitchard are going to love this one." --Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice "Jacquelyn Mitchard's The Birdwatcher is at once a gripping mystery and a nuanced portrait of a complicated friendship. I couldn't put it down.

" -- Adrienne Brodeur, bestselling author of Wild Game and Little Monsters "Witty and insightful.[Mitchard] does an admirable job of creating a complex criminal scenario and portraying characters with nuanced feelings about old friendships, while also highlighting the interplay between sex, money, and power." --Kirkus.
