Bird, Bath, & Beyond: A Mystery

A talent agent for show biz animals has to solve a crime—and save a parrot who refuses to talk—in this "sharp" mystery with a "pitch-perfect heroine" (Kirkus Reviews).

Kay Powell, theatrical agent to non-human animals, is babysitting—that is, birdsitting—her client, a parrot named Barney, on the set of his new TV show, Dead City. When the show's charismatic star is shot in his trailer between scenes, the only eyewitness to the crime is—you guessed it—Barney. And even though Kay keeps explaining that even a "talking" parrot doesn't actually converse with people, the investigators insist on interrogating the bird for information he clearly can't communicate.

Before long it's clear that the perpetrator believes Barney might actually be able to supply useful evidence—and Kay will have to take the parrot under her wing and put the killer in a cage . . .

"Charming . . . animal lovers and cozy readers should savor this romp through the world of animal acting and television production."—Publishers Weekly Raves for Dog Dish of Doom
