Review: Parrot & Sweeney


The kidnapping of an innocent child.  The murder of a witchy, widely hated socialite.  A shooting with ties to the banking crisis and economic meltdown.  It's all in a day's work for Detective Chief Superintendent George Parrot and his partner Detective Inspector Daniel Sweeney.

Alan Roberts' Parrot & Sweeney (Alan Roberts, 2012) is a delightful trilogy of good, old-fashioned detective stories.  There are no explosions, car chases, or shoot-outs here.  Instead, Parrot and Sweeney solve cases with police work, deduction, and the occasional bit of luck. Humorous, clever, and entertaining, Parrot & Sweeney is a very enjoyable read.

I received a complimentary copy of Parrot & Sweeney to facilitate my review.  No other compensation was received.  For full disclosure, see the sidebar.

Love when they catch the bad guy. They are becoming smarter than police and/or detectives today
