In an isolated town on the North Norfolk coast, Fran's life is unravelling. Her one source of solace is slipping out to the beach early in the morning, to watch the birds.

Small-town tensions simmer when a new teacher starts at the local school and a Romany community settle in the field adjoining Fran's caravan park. Then the schoolteacher and Fran's brother-in-law both go missing on the same night and accusations fly. Yet all Fran can seem to care about is the birds.

Eerie and unsettling, Bird Spotting in a Small Town is a psychological suspense featuring unreliable narrators and the perfect balance of mystery, tension and family drama.

MEDIA REVIEWS

A haunting, disquieting novel, exquisitely written. The detail throughout is like acupuncture and the whole thing is difficult to pull away from. I read it in short bursts because each sitting left me with something new to think about - Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants

Morton-Thomas challenges assumptions about class in this atmospheric piece of rural noir - Sunday Times

A remarkable feat of storytelling rich with a literary feel ... The setting, atmosphere, characters who see the world through a mirky window pane, strained relationships, deeply troubling events... it's slow burn psychological crime which warns that buried secrets will come back to hurt you - Crime Fiction Lover

A slow, dark, slippery tale set on the Norfolk coast... Disquieting and atmospheric, this is a book which lingers in the mind - Sussex Life 'Book of the Month'

The kind of book that gets under your skin, hugely atmospheric and dark in the best possible way - Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things

“enjoyable writing”

I enjoyed the writing and slow early pace of this book and getting to know the characters. Then the ending seemed to contain so many unexpected and difficult to explain twists that I almost felt I'd completely... More
