As host of the Parrots of the Caribbean pirate-themed tour, I don’t often get stage fright. Before we can unveil Chicken’s latest talent, we need to get his sidekick, scarlet macaw Ruby, ready to join him on stage.
Ruby’s snubbed me and the app, but I’m hoping she’ll put her best beak forward.
When I get to the private suite where she’s relaxing before her appearance, I discover she has an uninvited guest.
Eleanor Greeley, the wife of the mayor. And she’s dead.
But it appears that Ruby was the real target of this crime.
Bartender Carlos is taken into custody, but there’s no way he’s guilty. And the mayor’s convinced I have something that belongs to his wife.
The only one who knows what happened is Ruby…and she’s not talking.
Chicken and I are on a mission to find the culprit—but identifying the killer is only the beginning of this case. We need to make sure all the birds on the island are safe. We’ll uncover family secrets, lies, an exotic smuggling ring…and who’s behind it.
Bailey Booth is an animal lover, travel enthusiast, and avid reader. She drinks way too many soy lattes and will probably laugh at your jokes. She also likes long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners…oh wait. Wrong profile.
She missed her calling as a spy or a stunt person, so instead, she's telling stories where the animal and their person crack the case.
