Very well-written, interesting and likeable characters, intricate story. I especially liked how even Perry Mason was surprised at the end. While I had pretty much figured out who didn't commit the murder, I didn't figure out who did. It kept me guessing til the end. ( )Mason defends a woman (Helen) accused of murdering a businessman. It was notable for the testmony of a parrot who repeated the phrase "Put down the gun Helen. Awk, you've shot me." 0.071 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0345346858, Mass Market Paperback)POLLY WANT A KILLER Did the wealthy Fremont C. Sabin divorce his wife before his untimely death? That's the multimillion-dollar question. And the right answer will mean a windfall for either the dead man's angry son or headstrong widow. Each has accused the other of destroying Sabin's will--and murdering Sabin. But with no document declaring who the affable eccentric intended to leave his fortune to, Perry Mason faces a particularly prickly puzzle. Even more puzzling, however, is the talking parrot. Casanova was Fremont Sabin's beloved pet. But the bird found at the crime scene proves to be a foul-mouthed impostor. Suffice it to say that more than a few feathers will be ruffled as Mason sets out to clip a clever killer's wings. . . .
