Rating: 4 out of 5

I know everyone starts their reviews out with "I wanted to love it." Nope. Not me. Not for this book. I rolled my eyes when I saw this cover and thought "great, another Elvis book." I'd heard good things about this author and kept that in mind, so I decided to take a peek inside the book, nothing more than a cursory glance at first. I am ashamed to say that I was wrong. Not only could I not hate this book as I expected I would, but it was highly addictive and I found I couldn't stop reading it either.Possibly the best thing about this book other than that Elvis as a washed up PI is a funny thought, is the way the author delivers his character's sarcastic wit. This book had me chuckling at a steady pace all the way through. I did find that the end was not the big bang that I was expecting, but it wasn't really a letdown either. I felt this author was pretty consistent in everything from his pacing to his character building. I really liked this book a lot and also, because of this author I will now have to install an artificial, motion sensing dog alarm on my front step. This book was great and I will be checking out more from this author.I the realm of this has been seen and done before a thousand times, this author managed to stand out. Wonderful.
