Elvis and The Dearly Departed
Elvis and The Dearly Departed | Peggy Webb
7 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
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 Elvis--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 local, prominent 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 case--and have a killer singing "Jailhouse Rock" in time for her next haircutting appointment. . . Pure southern lunacy of the best possible kind." --Laurien Berenson

2 ⭐ Elvis reincarnated as a hound dog? 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 drives a pretty expensive truck. She is in the middle of a divorce but can not keep her hands off her ex.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.

In my hometown we don‘t get snow so we went to find some for Spring Break. I‘m reading while everyone else sleeps. Inside by the heater. 🤣

Next on my list is the one I was really looking forward too. Yes, that is also an animal crossing water bottle. 😅

Hello Mystery solvers of #GroupD #LMPBC. First, I‘m sorry this took so long to post. I ended up sick this week and then had to catch up at work. The blurbed book is probably my top pick because... I mean a reincarnation of ELVIS. I‘m intrigued, but not sure it counts as paranormal. Let me know what you think.

Roary47 Yikes. Okay maybe not. Elvis has $21 shipping! I might have to kindle that one. 😭 3y
Jadams89 I‘m up for any of these! 3y
LibrarianRyan I‘d be up for any. I have read first grave but it was when it first came out over a decade ago so I‘m cool with a reread if you want. 3y

LibrarianRyan Okay, this is going to sound bad, but what book did you pick again? I'm having a blond moment. 3y
Roary47 I‘m almost done with it. Hopefully, today. 😊 3y
