I found some things changed, or maybe became more clear in book 3. For one thing the writer made the dog have actual memories that ELVIS had. I had always thought of the dog just being cute, and thinking he was Elvis. But the way things were worded, I got the impression the author wants us to believe the Dog really is Elvis.

I had a the hardest time keeping this mystery straight who was who, and why. There where so many people killed that you really didnt know much about, and the names got confusing.

I still enjoyed the book and will read the next, but I gave it only a 3.

A lovable basset hound whos convinced hes the King reincarnated. A blonde bombshell mooning the lobby of the ritziest hotel in the South. And a murder witnessed by a parade of fame-hungry ducks? Somethings afoul, alright, and its definitely a case for the Southern Cousins
Callie Valentine Jones and her cousin Lovie really have their work cut out for them this time. Callies mama Ruby Nell has gone and entered herselfand her hunk-a-geriatric-love dance partnerin a Memphis mambo contest, hoping to shake, rattle and roll her way to stardom. And if the past is any indication, shell need at least two chaperones.

But someone at the competition is determined to step on a lot of blue suede shoes. First, a serial monogamist in a bright pink gown does a fatal swan dive from the top of the hotel. Then Callie finds an overdressed diva floating in a famous fountain. Now there can be no question: A murderer is loose in Memphis, and hes got a lot of killing to do.

With help from Jack, the mysteriously reappearing ex Callie just cant get over and her delusional dog Elvis, Callie and Lovie are going to have to track down some answers before mayhem strikes again. And with Ruby Nell in the killers sights, theyll need a little less conversation and a lot more action if they want their family waltzing home in one piece
