Synopsis
Animal photographer Janet MacPhail knows that trouble is in the air when Labrador Retriever Drake fetches a blood-soaked bag holding an exotic feather and a torn one-hundred-dollar bill during a photo shoot at Twisted Lake. One of Janet’s photography students reports seeing a strange bird at the lake, but he turns up dead before Janet can talk to him. When she learns that the mysterious retreat center near the lake is housing large numbers of tropical birds, Janet is sure there’s a connection and decides to investigate between dog-training classes, photo assignments, and visits to her mom at Shadetree Retirement. With help from her Australian Shepherd Jay and her quirky friend Goldie, Janet is determined to get to the bottom of things before another victim’s wings are clipped for good.

My Review:
I loved The Money Bird. I really like stories that include animals and this had a couple in it. Janet MacPhail is a animal photographer and was taking some pictures at Twisted Lake when one of her students called to tell her about a strange bird at the lake - but when she goes to look for it finds the student had drowned. Janet thought that there was something odd going on and then when her Drake her dog brings her a blood soaked bag with an exotic feather and a torn $100 bill in it she knows there is something wrong. What strange things are happening at the newly opened spiritual renewal center? Everything seems to go back to the spiritual renewal center. You will need to read The Money Bird to find out what happens ~ I am sure you will like it as much as I did and I look forward to reading the next.
I received a Copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the review, and the review is honest and my responsibility.

Unfortunately our last pet had to be put down a few years ago and at our age we do not want any more pets. I love to read about them though.
It’s always sad to lose a pet. If you think you’d like an animal in your life without the longterm commitment, you might consider fostering for a rescue group. Thanks for stopping by - I hope you enjoy the critters in my books!
