About this listen
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.

Not as satisfying as previous PM novels.
Cendese has found a style and rythm to ESG's stories. A separate voice from the TV incarnation.
Parrot as victim?

The narration is excellent as usual, except Alexander Cendese still hates it when people get emotional and almost ruined a moving moment with his "people who are upset stutter and sound silly" voice.
It is really odd because he was perfect when he read the lines of the stuttering bishop a few volumes ago, and he can also make silly character sound relatable. But he can make Perry himself sound bad if he is upset.
Perry has "never had a more satisfactory case"
