Agatha Award Best Novel (nominee)
We'll Always Have Parrots is the fifth book in Donna Andrews's Edgar Award-winning humorous mystery series starring Meg Langslow.
In We'll Always Have Parrots, Meg travels with her fiance, Michael, to a fan convention for Porfiria, Queen of the Jungle - a cheesy cult TV show on which Michael has a minor role. Michael hopes that the weekend will give him a chance to talk Miss Wynncliffe-Jones, the show's temperamental leading lady and executive producer, out of enforcing a certain provision in Michael's contract.
Of course, Michael's not the only person whose career the dictatorial star has manipulated. So when the star is found murdered, the police have plenty of suspects. Trouble is, Meg doesn't believe they're going to arrest the right one. Soon she finds herself following the murderer's trail through a hotel filled with egotistical actors, costumed fans, and a motley flock of monkeys and parrots who, rebelling against their role as live scenery in the hotel lobby, have escaped from their cages to take an active (and noisy) part in the festivities.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
