good elvis cole is a cool pi

An engaged, young woman enters the office of Elvis Cole, PI asking if he would find out what is causing her fiance to act out-of-character over the last couple of months. The fiance is a good looking policeman, so Elvis thinks this may be an easy case (another woman) - until he digs a little deeper and discovers there is some illegal activity going on.

This book is much more like what I know of Crais's later books in this series. Elvis radiates with personality, which deepens his character and makes for an enjoyable read. Sometimes his quips were repeated, but they were fun and made me smile. The mystery, in and of itself, was pretty good as well. Only two more to go to fill in the missing books of this series and I'm anticipating some good reads! (4/5) ( )

Cole is a detective who can't say no. I like the way this story unfolds and includes Joe Pike as they infiltrate into different underground worlds. ( )

Easy, fun read! ( )

Fast paced, witty dialog. ( )
