Overview
Murder most fowl? In this sardonic and campy YA thriller, an anxious, introverted nonbinary teen birder somehow finds themself investigating a murder with their neighbor/fellow anime lover, all while falling for a cute girl from their birding group...and trying not to get killed next.Ā
Sixteen-year-old Bianca Torre is an avid birder undergoing a gender identity crisis and grappling with an ever-growing list of fears. Some, likeĀ Fear #6: Initiating Conversation, keep them constrained, forcing them to watch birds from the telescope in their bedroom. And, occasionally, their neighbors. When their gaze wanders to one particular window across the street, Bianca witnesses a creepy plague-masked murderer take their neighborās life. Worse, the death is ruled a suicide, forcing Bianca to make a choiceāsuccumb to their long list of fears (includingĀ #3 MurderĀ andĀ #55 Breaking into a Dead Guyās Apartment), or investigate what happened.Ā
Bianca enlists the help of their friend Anderson Coleman, but the two have more knowledge of anime than true crime. As Bianca and Anderson dig deeper into the murder with a little help from Biancaās crush and fellow birding aficionado, Elaine Yee (#13 Beautiful People,Ā #11 Parents Discovering Theyāre a Raging Lesbian), the trio uncover a conspiracy much largerāand weirderāthan imagined. And when the killer catches wind of the investigation, suddenly Biancaās #1 fear of public speaking doesnāt sound so bad compared to the threat of being silenced for good.
In this absurdist, darkly comical YA thriller that is a deceptively deep exploration of anxiety and identity, perhaps the real murder investigation is the friends we make along the way.Ā
