We'll Always Have Parrots

De: Donna Andrews

Narrado por: Bernadette Dunne

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. Michael and his partner Meg have become part of the show’s family—but as with most families, there's a member who's very difficult to like. QB, the actress playing Porfiria, is a true drama queen, with a drinking problem and a bad attitude. When Meg attempts to extract the recalcitrant QB from her dressing room, Meg finds her dead. Now Meg and Michael, despite the zany atmosphere, must solve the murder.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Perfectly showcases Donna Andrews' gift for deadpan comedy." (Denver Post)
"Laughter, more laughter, we need laughter, so Donna Andrews is giving us We'll Always Have Parrots...to help us survive February." (Washington Times)

Captured me from the first moment.

I love the twist and humor. The story was fun and entertaining. I love the plot.

Meg Langslow #5

Love the characters and the plot twists. I was able to guess who-dun-it but enjoyed the trip getting there. On to the next book in the series.

Each Meg Lanslow gets better and better

I wasn't sure when I first started this series, I was at the end of all my favorites and must wait for the yearly release which then caught in a few hours. Dread when that happens. This series appealed to me base on reviews, well and the fact there are over 20 already! It will keep me busy. The first 2 seemed a little over the top and the family like a bad sitcom to me. I know I know sounds like a bad review but the last 3 books the quirky family grows on you and reeled in to not be so outrageous. This book was awesome and I didn't even figure out "Who Dunnit" until close to the end. The end had a twist causing me to doubt my final selection which was awesome!

wonderfully funny story

Loved the story, and the plot. This one had me actually laughing out loud in certain parts! I'll admit, I was surprised at the narration. I thought that it wouldn't be as good as it turned out to be.

Fun family oriented series for animal lovers

Perfect mystery series for animal lovers.

The Quirky Characters absolutely make this series.

Meg Langslow accompanies her boyfriend Michael to a fan convention. She sets up a booth with the intention of selling some of her blacksmith trade items such as swords.

However her attention will soon have to be focused on a murder that occurs when a very unpopular member of the cast meets an untimely end. - Megan gets some interesting clues from a number of African Grey parrots, and some support from a tiger and even some monkeys ...

Very Enjoyable Light Entertainment

Loved the narrator! Well worth the listen! Story is not the strongest, but characters were interesting.

Overall great series

This is not the strongest book in the series, but an ok listen. Reader helped the story along.

A delightful funny entry in the series

This book is one of my favorite in the series, with the TV show fan setting, the wayward parrots, and Meg’s parents managing to join in. The narration, as always, is excellent.

nice and quirky

Fun little story. Good Quirky Characters. The mystery wasn't bad and there was a twist at the end.

Fun!

I love this series! It is pure witty entertainment. I highly recommend the series.
