About this ebook
In We'll Always Have Parrots, Meg Langslow travels with her fiance Michael to a fan convention for Porfiria, Queen of the Jungle--a cheesy cult TV show on which Michael has a minor role. Michael hopes the weekend will give him a chance to talk Miss Wynncliffe-Jones, the show's temperamental leading lady and executive producer out of enforcing a certain provision in Michael's contract.
Of course, Michael's not the only person whose career the dictatorial star has manipulated. So when the star is found murdered, the police have plenty of suspects. Trouble is, Meg doesn't believe they're going to arrest the right one. Soon she finds herself following the murderer's trail through a hotel filled with egotistical actors, costumed fans, and a motley flock of monkeys and parrots who, rebelling against their role as live scenery, have escaped from their cages to take an active (and noisy) role in the festivities.

situational-humor, verbal-humor, cozy-mystery, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths We'll always have parrots. And monkeys. And a tiger. Meg goes along to a con for fans of the television show based on a set of 1970s graphic novels in which her boyfriend is a prominent character. It isn't hard to figure out who the deserving murder victim will be, but the sleuthing is almost as good as the humor! Don't miss this fun read! Bernadette Dunne continues to be great narrator.
