Acquire Today The King Is Dead (Samantha Adams, #5) Constructed By Sarah Shankman Issued As Ebook

was a strange book, It started out really well but turned weird and was way to long, Hilarious!! Probably no redeeming social value, . . but laugh out loud funny! I even learned a few things about Elvis that I'm not sure I really needed to know if, perchance it's true! Dollar Tree buy, great paperback to take around with you and read while on the bus or in the waiting room.
Good plot twists, deliciosly eccentric characters, and a wonderful homage to the King, I could really identify with the characters' devotion, For most of my young life, my mom had a little sort of shrine with two red roses and a framed vintage photo of him, Odd, but endearing. Samantha Adams, Atlanta's wittiest journalist/detective, is back! Samantha is working on a book called American Weird, and she's come to the right place: Tupelo, Mississippi, the birthplace of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, and the site of an international barbecue cookoff.
But murder wasn't supposed to be on the menu, DNF Every book in this series is layered with detailed local color, Events and locations seem to have been well researched, That added to the humor of Shankmans writing make for enjoyable reading, There were so many characters and so many links in the story, but that made it absolutely fascinating, plus it was often hilarious, too, It was one of the most lively books I have ever read and Sarah Shankman certainly knows and understands the South, It was a rollicking, fun read! THE KING IS DEAD G
Shankman, Sarahth in series

Crime reporter Samantha Adams is working on a book called American Weirdwhen her boyfriend, Harry Zack, persuades her to join him at a barbecue cookoff in Tupelo, Mississippi.
As Harry puts it, the King's birthplace "ought to be lousy with weird, " Besides, they're driving there in a genuine pink Cadillac,

Also driving toward Tupelo is Mary Ann McClanahan, who more or less killed her worthless third husband, Carlin, She's discovered Carlin was already married to a woman in Tupelo who'll collect his life insuranceunless Mary Ann does something about it, Then anwheeler driven by a novice Elvis impersonator blows Mary Ann off the road into a snake farm, Before you can say "Hound Dog," Sam's giving mouthtomouth to a barbecue contestant zapped by his own electric smoker, At the Elvis Memorial McDonald's, Sam's little dog has to be rescued by a Biker for Jesus, When someone takes a potshot at Sam and Harry's host, who turns out to be the meanest man in town, and Lovie Rakestraw, a junior high classmate of Elvis, is

found electrocuted in her whirlpool, things really start to cook.


Somewhat better than good, it's an enjoyable book, It's not War and Peace, but you gotta have a playbook to keep up with the characters with funky nicknames, and a chart to track the jumble of scenes spilling over one another for no good reason.
Funny stuff, but a pain in the butt to read, I only finished it to meet my reading challenge, A little hard to follow the story line at times, but I kept reading, thinking, "What could happen next" Oh my, has anyone else combined a throng of Elvis impersonators with a murder mystery This was a really fun book! Pretty enjoyable book.
It was a little hard for me to get into because of all the many characters and an awful lot of skipping around, It got a little hard to keep track of who was who, I have to say, the ending was a real ripsnorter, Nashville based mystery writer Sarah Shankman is the author of the popular title I Still Miss My Man, But My Aim is Getting Better, and the equally popular Samantha Adams series, the latest of which is Digging Up Momma.
