Bird Brain

A Polly Parrett Pet-Sitter Cozy Murder Mystery, Book 3

By: Liz Dodwell

Narrated by: Jennifer Fournier

Polly Parrett meets Polly parrot. Together, can they solve a murder mystery? Things just don't always go the right way for pet-sitter, Polly Parrett. Dogs and cats can be tough enough; now she finds herself having to cope with a moody macaw, a volatile new resident at her mother's halfway house for veterans, and oh yeah, a dead body. What's more, the parrot and Polly share the same name, which not only makes for a lot of confusion, but it just might be that the parrot is the smarter of the two.

Delightful

I liked this book more than the previous one, which I liked as well. Two key characters with the same name of Polly Parrot - you either groan and go on or giggle with the absurdity. I giggled. This whole book was fun. I wouldn't mind a longer book but she does an excellent job packing in all the 'guts' in a short time.
The narrator was very good although I did listen at a slightly increased speed. Easy to discern between characters. The mystery was pretty good - a couple of unexpected twists especially impressive in such a short book.
I was gifted this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Fun - Sweet - Lightweight - lots of animals

Any additional comments?

This cozy mystery was different than most I'd ever heard before, and the main character was a hoot. She's got the perfect boyfriend, a life surrounded by animals, and a knack for getting herself into trouble, and in the middle of a murder mystery.This story would be safe children to hear.... because there wasn't anything gruesome, or sexual, or unduly violent.My favorite scenes were anything with the TWIN dog trainers. I will listen to more of this series in the future - for a little, lighthearted reading with lots of animals.
