Mystery with yellow cover & a parakeet

This is slightly different in that I haven't read this novel (yet). I saw it in an airport bookstore and then had to run off and get on my plane...

So it is in print - it was a bookseller's featured book so it may not be hugely recent. Its most defining characteristic was that it had an almost entirely yellow cover with a parakeet/parrot on it. It was in the mysteries section and was set in (I think) Florida or Georgia or Alabama or somewhere warm like that. And I think it was written by a woman.

Any help gratefully received (and next time, I will just buy it. Planes are never that quick to take off...)

We'll Always Have Parrots by Donna Andrews? (Not sure if any of the editions have a purely yellow cover, but some have a blue cover with a large yellow parrot on it.) This is part of her humorous 'Meg Langslow' mystery series.

Hmm, I don't think so. It was a smallish green parrot, and it looked closer to a literary mystery than a cozy one, if that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply though!

I don't think this is it, because you wouldn't think it was "literary mystery". But one cover is yellow with a small green parrot, so...
The Cat Who Brought Down The House by Lilian Jackson Braun

Haha, it certainly looks intriguing! But is also not the right book. Darn it, the mystery is a mystery :-)

He's not a woman, but the cover and a Florida setting sound like something by Carl Hiaasen. There must have been something beyond the parrot in the cover material that made it look interesting to you. Plot description or a blurb maybe?

Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead by Sara Gran. I haven't read the book but it seems to be the one you seek.

Haha, 10 points to Nick! Thank you, LTers to the rescue once more. Thanks too to everyone else for their suggestions :-)
