Praise for Parrots Prove Deadly... "Pru Marlowe can hear what animals are thinking?...Clea Simon makes it a delight to believe it. Clever, original and completely captivating!" -Hank Phillippi Ryan Anthony, Agatha and Macavity winning author When Pru Marlowe is called in to retrain a foul-mouthed African gray after its owner's death, the animal psychic can't help hearing the bird's words as a replay of a murder scene. But the doctor on call scoffs at the idea, and the heirs just want their late mother's pet to quit cursing. The only other possible witnesses are evasive, leaving Pru stuck with what may be a feather-brained theory. Even her crotchety tabby Wallis doesn't buy it, but Pru agrees to "interrogate" the big bird, and is soon dealing with drugs, jealousy, and a potential rabies outbreak.... Clea Simon lives in Massachusetts with her husband Jon and their cat Musetta. www.CleaSimon.com
