'Talking parrot last seen on Saturday morning in Henryetta Park. Squawker loves carrots, Wheel of Fortune, and long walks in the park.' Was the owner looking to find the parrot or a date?
It is hard to review mysteries without getting into spoiler territory, so this review will be a bit brief. It starts with a missing parrot, but as always with Rose and Neely Kate things are much more complicated. The romantic tension with a certain King comes a bit to a head in this installment, and despite Rose still being good she is starting to see the morally grey. Only time will tell which path she winds up taking. My favorite thing about these books and the world that Swank has created is the characters - I love each and every one of them. They are complex and they feel real; they are what keeps bringing me back.
