Killers of a Feather

Urban Tails Pet Shop Mysteries, Book 2

By: T. C. LoTempio

Narrated by: C.S.E. Cooney

Shell McMillan and her feline friends must unravel a mystery where everyone's a suspect and no one's to blame . . .

With the grand re-opening of her Urban Tails Pet Shop just days away, Shell McMillan has her hands full planning entertainment for the festive event, including a fortune-telling parrot. But her jubilant mood is soon threatened by ominous rumors of the return of Johnny Draco, a former investment guru who swindled money from most of the residents of Fox Hollow and then vanished without a trace. And when the parrot predicts a dire future for Draco and his dead body is found just hours later, no one can say they're surprised—but no one will say who did it.

With virtually everyone in town a suspect, the police turn their focus on a good friend of Shell's who was seen arguing with the victim shortly before his death. Determined to clear her friend's name, Shell begins investigating Draco's past, his former employer, and everyone who lost money to him. And when the trail of clues suggests there may have been a completely different motive for the murder, Shell suddenly realizes she's uncovered a secret someone would kill to keep hidden—and that if she's not careful, the parrot may be predicting she has no future at all . . .
