It takes him from his hometown of Los Angeles to Connecticut, where he quickly locates them. Major problems arise due to the ex-wife's profession, causing Cole to call in his partner, Joe Pike, for assistance. Filling in the missing books of the Elvis Cole series brings me to #3. I enjoyed this one more so than #2. The quips were delivered with good timing and made me giggle. I could have done without a portion of the story line, because I'm simply just tired of that scenario, but it worked. Hopefully, #4 (providing I didn't read that one) will continue the series on the upswing. (3.75/5) Originally posted on: "Thoughts of Joy..." 3rd book in the Elvis Cole series - another nice fast read, however, Elvis is far funnier when he is at home in LA, I guess the cold east coast just takes the humour right out of people Another Elvis Cole novel from Robert Crais; this one begins with Elvis being hired by a Peter Nelsen, sphincterish Hollywood mogul, to track down the young woman whom he had married and left, along with their son. Elvis finds her surprisingly easily, so there's obviously some complication coming. It turns out she's gained a responsible position in a Connecticut bank by laundering money for a New York crime family. Elvis, and his loquacious partner Joe Pike, must try to extricate Karen from the mob before she can deal with Peter. The usual sorts of Elvis Cole shenanigans ensue, including smart-ass wit, clever deductions, and lots of gunfire. A quick and easy read that doesn't require much of a contribution from the reader. Good book. Fun and fast. no reviews | add a review
