The Case of the Perjured Parrot

Perry Mason, Book 14

By: Erle Stanley Gardner

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese

Did Wealthy Fremont 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 to whom the affable eccentric intended to leave his fortune, Perry Mason faces a 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.

Entertaining!

Narrator was very good as he always speaks at a nice listening pace with his various voices.
During the last few chapters I kept feeling there was more to the story even after the murder was solved.
Mentioning that there is a surprise twist at the end doesn’t give “the more” away.

excellent.

I thought this would end the same as the tv episode but I was wrong and happy that I listened to this one.
the more I listen to these the more I think about how the tv series was butchered.

Narrator was great

Great story as always from Erle Stanley Gardner. The narrator did an excellent job of changing his voice for all the different characters! Enjoyable!

Not thinking of a brother

I know I have seen Raymond burr in this episode but it has been awhile and I totally forgot that there was a brother. Good twist!

Another great Perry Mason

I love this narrator he has plenty of different voices so you can keep track of who’s who. I love the story, and I really liked the ending.
