Recently vindicated and her law license reinstated, Kendra
Ballantyne is enjoying working with a small law firm as a
partner. Kendra loves her work as a lawyer, though she
keeps her side job as a pet-sitter. It's her love of
animals that makes her enjoy working with fellow lawyer
Ezra Cossner.
Ezra owns Gigi, a blue macaw. When Ezra is murdered, Gigi
is the only witness, and getting reliable information out
of a bird that can say her own name and sing "99 Bottles of
Beer" is a challenge for Kendra. When a paralegal is shot a
few days later, the police come up with a suspect that has
Kendra determined to solve the case -- her lover, private
investigator Jeff Hubbard.
Kendra's faith in Jeff is shaken on a personal level when
his ex- turns up, determined to have him back. She provides
an alibi for him, insinuating to Kendra that there's more
between them than a business relationship. Knowing Jeff is
innocent brings up memories of her own run-in with the law,
and Kendra's pursuit of justice puts her in danger,
bringing Gigi to the rescue!
This is a fast-paced who-done-it with a multitude of clues
cleverly put together for a satisfying conclusion. Kendra
is a fun character, and her supporting friends and assorted
critters make an enjoyable read. Fans will enjoy this
latest Pet-Sitter Mystery!
