The Feather Thief

I found this fascinating! In a lot of ways the crime itself is very similar to “The Map Thief” in that a respected dealer/hobbyist is allowed the benefit of the doubt when selling rare items, but still super interesting. I appreciated that Johnson went in such detail about not only fly-tying but naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace, who I had never heard of.

This is a great nonviolent true crime pick or for anyone interested in museums and science.
