Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

From a USA Todayâ??bestselling author: First in the mystery series filled with "pure southern lunacy of the best possible kind" (Laurien Berenson).

They say you can't get to Heaven without passing through the Eternal Rest Funeral Home. And no one gets into Eternal Rest without passing muster with Elvisâ??the basset hound who's convinced he's the reincarnation of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Brewing up a big ol' pitcher of Mississippi mystery, Peggy Webb's delightful new series is as intoxicating as the Delta breeze.

Normally, Callie Valentine Jones spends her days fixing up the hairdos of the dead, but when the corpse of prominent local physician Dr. Leonard Laton goes missing, it's bad for business. So Callie and her cousin Lovie (Eternal Rest's resident wake caterer) have no choice but to go in hot pursuit of the recently embalmed, last seen bound for Vegas by way of downtown Tupelo.

In Vegas, Callie and Lovie hit the jackpot when they find the dearly departed inside a freezer owned by his showgirl mistress, Bubble Malone. But their luck runs out when Bubble decides to join her man in the afterlife. With the poisonous Laton family tree providing plenty of rotten suspects, Callie, along with some help from her basset hound, Elvis, is determined to crack this caseâ??and have a killer singing "Jailhouse Rock" in time for her next haircutting appointment .

This was on my TBR for a long time. I got it for the basset hound named Elvis on the cover. I loved Elvis and his music when I was growing up. I thought it was fun having him reincarnated in the hound dog. I read this in between scary reading. I needed something to just relax and laugh with. For me, it did the job. I don’t expect reality when I read fiction. I also don’t expect my characters to be perfect examples of my idea of perfect people. The plot and characters were fun. I honestly didn’t know who did it until the end. I really enjoyed the dog.
I would recommend this book to people who just want to have fun in a cozy. If you are going to be judgmental of the characters you probably won’t like the ones here. They are probably not people you want to be. I don’t tend to look at fictional characters as role models so I’m cool with the quirky, not perfect peeps in a book. If you are looking for a serious cozy, keep going. But if you just want to escape from reality and you miss Elvis, read it. ( )

I really wanted to like this book. Elvis reincarnated as a hound dog? Yes, please. But that is the best part of the book, Elvis. His owner is a hair dresser in a small town who complains about having no money, but wears cute shoes and drives a pretty expensive truck. His owner also has man problems. She is in the middle of a divorce but can not keep her hands off her ex. This and her internal dialog about the ex get exhausting. It’s over done and played to death. Then there is her best friend. The author goes on and on about her size. She is a sexy plus size and loves herself. But it amazes me how often her size has to be mentioned. And did I mention this is a mystery. The mystery is where did the dead body that was supposed to be in the funeral home go? It’s a wild goose chase and not all that interesting. I DNFed at the ½ way point. This book is for someone, just not me. ( )

This book was so cute! You get the sex, crazy family, murder, mystery and laughs all in one book! Only read if you want a light easy read. ( )
