The Canary's Last Song: A Bird Sanctuary Mystery

Whispering Wings Mysteries Book 1

By: M.A. Reyes, Miguel Reyes

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

🔍 A Sanctuary of Birds. A Song of Murder. A Silent Witness Who Speaks Through Wings.

When Sage Blackwood—a reclusive wildlife rehabilitator who hasn’t spoken in five years—discovers the body of her beloved mentor, Dr. Marcus Thorne, in his glass conservatory, she knows two things:

1. It wasn’t an accident.
2. The birds saw everything.

Sage has spent her life studying the emotions and instincts of animals. But now, the rare and endangered birds of Whispering Wings hold more than grief in their cries—they hold the key to a murder no human saw.

As the police circle suspects with hidden agendas—from an ex-fiancée with motives as sharp as her heels to a charming vet with secrets of his own—Sage must rely on her uncanny ability to interpret animal behavior to uncover the truth. The canary’s haunting melody isn’t just mourning. It’s testifying.

With a loyal raccoon sidekick named Bandit, a growing connection with the enigmatic Dr. River Chen, and a flock of traumatized birds whispering their secrets, Sage is drawn into a tangled web of wildlife trafficking, betrayal, and buried guilt. But someone is watching—and they know Sage is getting too close.

Will her silence protect her—or make her the next target?

Perfect for fans of Clea Simon, Ellie Alexander, and T.C. LoTempio, The Canary’s Last Song blends cozy mystery charm with emotional depth, a touch of romance, and a uniquely feathered perspective on justice.
