Rating:  - Parrots are the stars
This book was not as good as the others. I figured "who done it" right away. I hope the rest of the series get beter. I like Meg but if I were Michael I find someone else to live with. Meg finds too many dead bodies. I like her dad. He's a hoot.
Rating:  - A grey saves the day
This is the fifth book in an ongoing "bird" mystery series featuring amateur sleuth Meg Langslow. Other titles include "Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon" and "Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos." In this book, Langslow and her fiancé actor Michael are participants in a weekend fan convention of the cult fantasy show "Porfiria, Queen of the Jungle," in which he stars. When the actress who plays the title character turns up murdered, it appears an African grey parrot is the only witness. The hotel ... Read More
Rating:  - A Great Romp through Cons and Cult TV Fans
When I read the previous book to this one, "Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon", I loved everything about the book and worried that it was just because heroine Meg was in a world I adored (computer game development) and her boyfriend was far away.

In fact he's front and center, as his acting career in the cult TV series "Porfiria, Queen of the Jungle" has brought the dynamic duo to ... Read More
Rating: - Four and a half stars, actually -- very funny in parts
Donna Andrews is a favorite of mine because of her humor -- her books are full of burst out laughing lines and situations. This book is no exception. The setting is a "con" -- a convention of fans of a Xena-type television show. Her detective Meg (also a blacksmith who makes decorative items, swords, etc. -- not a shoer of horses blacksmith) has a boyfriend with a role in the show so she's there with a vendor's booth and her boyfriend. The convention is zany, with most of the attendees dressed as ... Read More
Rating: - Fun reading
Although this is a part of a series, each book in this series can stand alone. Meg is a superb character. She is funny and sensible and has a hilarious family. Michael her boyfriend is just as funny with a very dry wit.
In this book Meg has decided to try to sell some of her swords while Michael caters to his fans of a show he's on. When the Queen Bee is found dead and Michael is suspect; Meg has to solve the mystery.
This is a funny book that made me laugh. It is a quick moving ... Read More
