Fine-Feathered Death
A Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mystery #3

by Linda O. Johnston



      Kendra Ballantyne is finally back to work as a lawyer, but she hasn't given up her pet-sitting. Kendra seems to be doing great, as she's also still dating the private investigator, Jeff, who helped her out when she was going through problems getting her license restored. Like most lawyers, Kendra is forced to work with an older partner whom she is not thrilled about working with. So what is Kendra to do when she is working late one evening and is greeted with shrieks coming from the partner, Ezra Cossner's, office? Kendra approaches and sees the macaw that was doing the screeching. Also, however, Ezra is murdered. Can Kendra solve the mystery and prevent the police from thinking that she killed him?

Another good mystery from Ms. Johnston. This reader wishes that more was done with Gigi, the blue macaw, instead of being focused on training her. The ending was slightly surprising. At least, this reader did not anticipate who the murderer was. The interesting twists and turns regarding the list of suspects were well developed. Not one of the better Pet-Sitter Mysteries, but still worth the read and getting to know more about Kendra's character.
