Description

In We'll Always Have Parrots, Meg Langslow 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 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, have escaped from their cages to take an active (and noisy) role in the festivities.

        February 1, 2004
        British author Judith Cutler's second police procedural, Staying Power: A Kate Power Mystery, falls short of her promising debut, Power on Her Own (2003). The early revelation of the identity of the perpetrator behind various crimes, including a suspicious suicide and a string of pharmacy burglaries, undercuts suspense, while the offstage arrest of the chief villain comes as an anticlimax. The well-intentioned Power, a Birmingham detective sergeant, genuinely cares for the walking wounded she runs into, however, and that sincerity gives Cutler something to build on in future volumes. Agent, Shana Cohen at the Stuart Krichevsky Agency.
