Goosey Goosey Gander, a review
Murder in the marshes! No – not a marsh harrier catching its dinner but a conservationist shot on the edge of the River Severn. Is nobody safe?
Goosey Goosey Gander by Frank Edwards is set on a wetland reserve not far from WWT Slimbridge and has illustrations by Marion Edwards of wildfowl from various WWT sites. The murder mystery involves detectives, birders, old and new money, plus small village life. While rather a traditional whodunnit, it’s novel having one where the detective has to stop mid-investigation to peer at the skein of geese flying overhead.
It's amazing what you can find in WWT Caerlaverock’s second hand book shop.
