The Real Macaw by Donna Andrews, 309 pages


Meg Lanslow hasn't stumbled across another dead body, instead it's a library filled with cage after cage of animals, including a macaw with a filthy mouth. Her father, grandfather and brother have "rescued" all the animals from the county shelter after it's rescinded it's no-kill policy. But when the co-rescuer turns up dead before driving the animals to their new homes, Meg must help find his killer and look for homes for these animals before the new shelter ends up permanently in her barn.
These books are always funny, mainly due to Meg's eccentric cast of family members. Donna Andrews' books are light, humorous mysteries, with not a lot of blood and gore.
