Save the bird. Save the world.
Jacob begins his story by telling us that he will always think of the events in his life split between Before and After. I think of this book in quite the same way.

Pos-i-tute-ly half divine!
Mystery is a necessary ingredient of a good murder story. Well, if it pays off. In this book, there’s a very solid divide between the awesome mystery and the awful mystery.
