Parrots are flying loose all over a convention hotel, making
trouble and imitating everything everyone says. Monkeys are
swinging from chandelier to chandelier. Michael is a teacher
moonlighting as an actor in the show Porfiria, Queen of the
Jungle, and the cast, crew, and their exotic animal
colleagues are performing at the hotel.
The unflappable ornamental blacksmith-turned-detective Meg Langslow
returns in this latest bird mystery by award-winning author Donna
Andrews. Aficionados of Murder with Peacocks and Revenge
of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos will revel in Andrews's trademark
dry humor, offbeat characters, and disastrous events unfolding at
another classic American setting.
