Murder at the Paisley Parrot

A Marshall James Novel

De: Mark McNease

Narrado por: Fred Wolinsky

Time waits for no one, including Marshall James. Now 58 and living in New York City, Marshall has outlived the expiration date he was given with a cancer diagnosis three years ago. He beat the odds, but he knows he may not beat the clock. So he’s decided to tell a story or three about some murders he was involved in back in the day.

The year was 1983. The bar was the Paisley Parrot in Hollywood, a gay, mob-run dive where people came to drink and few of them remembered the night before. Marshall loves his job as a bartender there. But one night, among the regulars, a killer arrives. Body by body, death by death, Marshall finds himself pulled into a web of murder, deceit, and crime, with a psychopath waiting at the center of it all. Marshall falls for the cop who is investigating him, not knowing if their relationship will survive or even if he'll come out of this alive. Find out before last call comes around, in Murder at the Paisley Parrot.

MURDER AT PAISLEY PARRAT

This is a story about Marshall James life. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for a review. He's dying and he's telling everything that has happened to him. Some of it is sad. It's also a great mystery. I was one hundred percent wrapped up in this story. Wanting to know what was going to happen next. You can feel the pain he went through because of his life style. The problems the worry. He talks about working with the Detectives and the FBI. It's a different style of mystery. Fred Wolinsky did a great job narrating this book. He is new to me and that actually added to the story. It made it kinda like an audio biography of him telling his story. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

good

This was sad in so many ways, but the ending was positive. I empathized with the gay men who list their lives due to a psycho. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator was good.

Light but serious

This book has it all Mob, serial killer, love, and Marshall in the middle of all three. This is a action packed, suspenseful, funny at times, awesome murder mystery. The characters are sometimes eccentric but lovable, and if you are lucky enough to have gotten the audio version narrated by the wonderful voice actor Fred Wolinsky these characters will really stand out and you will be drawn in to life of the Paisley Parrot and maybe even tend bar next to Marshall himself. This is a fun and light murder mystery with some serious and historic (yep Marshall will take you back to the 80's) facts and details that are relevant about the life of gay men as well as everyone in the 80's.

Great mystery!

Great mystery with an unexpected ending. Good read! I received a free copy and left my honest review

worth the time to listen

Enjoyed this a lot. narration took some getting use to but did not distract from the story. Got invested in Marshall and his story and hoping to read more.
