Parrots will repeat anything they dont talk sense. Or do they? When Pru Marlowe is called in to retrain a foul-mouthed African gray after its owners death, the bad-girl animal psychic cant help hearing the birds words as a replay of a murder scene. But the doctor on call scoffs at the idea, and the heirs just want their late mothers pet to quit cursing. With the only other possible witnesses being an evasive aide, the blind neighbor, and a single-minded service dog, Pru is stuck with what may be a feather-brained theory. Even her crotchety tabby Wallis doesnt buy it, although shes more than willing to interrogate the big bird, as Pru deals with drugs, jealousy, and a potential rabies outbreak in Parrots Prove Deadly, the third Pru Marlowe pet noir.,
