A Dance of Cranes

By: Steve Burrows

Narrated by: David Thorpe

Newly estranged from his girlfriend, Lindy Hey, Inspector Domenic Jejeune returns to Southern Ontario, where he receives news that his brother, Damian, has gone missing in Wood Buffalo National Park while conducting research on whooping cranes. Domenic immediately heads out to try to find him.

Back in the UK, Jejeune’s plan to protect Lindy has failed, and she has been kidnapped by his old foe, Ray Hayes. Jejeune's trusty sergeant, Danny Maik, tracks down Lindy, but there is far more to the situation than he anticipated. With Lindy in imminent danger, Maik is forced into a desperate rescue attempt.

Will either of them survive? And if so, can they find their way back to each other?

Canadian pronunciation

Loved the story. Dismayed by the pronunciation of the Dene, the people (note my phone doesn’t allow for accent acute on the last e). Other non-Canadian pronunciations of slough. Oh dear!

So much fun.

Absolutely awesome series. I love both birding and mystery novels, so this is a win-win for me. Good characters, fun storylines, and the narrator is pretty great. Doesn’t always nail the North American accents, but it’s forgivable. Looking forward to more books as well as the forthcoming TV series.
