The Bob White Birder Murder Mysteries put a birdwatching spin on the cozy mystery formula. Bob White is a high school counselor and devoted birder in Minnesota who keeps finding himself in the middle of murder investigations. Each book is named after a bird species, from The Boreal Owl Murder to The Kiskadee of Death.
The series ran seven books between 2008 and 2015. Jan Dunlap mixes real birdwatching locations and species information with lighthearted mystery plotting. The Minnesota setting gives the books a regional flavor, and the birding angle makes them stand out from other cozy mystery series.
