"Chloe Alvarez has never been to the reading of a last will and testament before, but she hopes it is just like the movies. Lies! Intrigue! The reading of her Uncle Will's will is standard, until he announces his gift for Chloe: his African grey parrot Charlie. Uncle Will was Chloe's best friend. Without him, she's left with only her memories of them together--which come to her in snapshots--and her new friend Charlie. The parrot has a vast vocabulary, and soon Chloe hears her say something odd: 'It was murder, ' followed by 'homicide' and 'cyanide.' Chloe becomes convinced her Uncle Will's death was foul play. Why else wouldn't he have told anyone in the family--especially Chloe--that he was sick?"--
