Preview The Case of the Pernicious Parrot
For Julia, the stakes have never been higher. An idyllic vacation to the Florida Keys turns into a high-seas adventure of a lost will, murder, and perhaps even kidnapping.
During Christmas break, Julia and her daughter, Becky, head down to the Florida Keys for a month of birdwatching, snorkeling, boating, and fun with Julia’s two friends and fellow RV nomads Dottie and Penelope. The day after Julia and Becky arrive, a rival birding club, the dreaded Tampa Tanagers, show up. They’ve come for the prestigious annual Florida Keys birding competition, which the Tanagers have won for several years running—probably through cheating. Julia’s friends, Dottie and Penelope, are determined to win the competition this year, and they’re counting on Julia and Becky to help them.
On the first day of the competition, the head of the Tanagers, retired University of Florida ornithologist Dr. Helga Byrd, is found dead on a small island near Big Pine Key. The competition is called off, but now Julia is thrown into yet another murder investigation. As usual, the authorities are entirely off base, and it’s up to Julia, Becky, and Julia’s friends, to solve Dr. Byrd’s murder. Nothing is straightforward, though. Things quickly go from bad to worse, and Julia’s daughter becomes a potential victim of a psychopathic killer.
The Case of the Pernicious Parrot is the third book in the Julia Lives in a Van cozy mystery series. Like the other books in the series, this book is a fun, quirky cozy mystery. This is a safe mystery that anyone of any age can read and enjoy. Follow along with Julia, her daughter, and their friends while they snorkel in the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico, explore Key West, and solve a heinous crime.
