The second in this hilarious cozy mystery series features a woman who is a talent agent for show biz animals and discovers that she has a talent herself: solving crimes.
Kay Powell, theatrical agent to non-human animals, is babysittingโthat is, birdsittingโher client, a parrot named Barney, on the set of his new TV show, Dead City. When the showโs charismatic star is shot in his trailer between scenes, the only eyewitness to the crime isโyou guessed itโBarney. And even though Kay keeps explaining that even a โtalkingโ parrot doesnโt actually converse with people, the investigators insist on interrogating the bird for information he clearly canโt communicate.
Suspects accumulate like birdseed, and before long itโs clear the killer believes Barney might actually be able to supply useful evidence. Even Barney canโt fly away from this one.
