“This reviewer has imagined a lot of things in her lifetime, but reading a book narrated by a Basset Hound named
Elvis that believes he is “The King” reincarnate, has never once crossed my mind. Thank goodness Peggy Webb has a
much better imagination than I.
ELVIS AND THE DEARLY DEPARTED is a hoot, and is full of bawdy humor, colorful, appealing and mostly quirky characters,
and an offbeat storyline that is reminiscent of “A Week-End at Bernies.” This is the first book in the “Elvis Mysteries”
(Southern Cousins Mysteries) and we can look forward to ELVIS AND THE GRATEFUL DEAD later this year.”
"Who in the world but Peggy Webb could successfully channel the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll through
a sleuthing Basset hound? Elvis and the Dearly Departed is a hunka, hunka fabulous fun."
Leslie Criss, Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal
"Elvis is alive and living in Mississippi, reincarnated as a hunka burnin’ Basset hound. This crazy
chick-romp has everything: stilettos, chocolate, a sexy bad-boy not-quite-ex, even a recipe for an
Elvis favorite, with all the Mississippi sugar and sass of a pecan bourbon ball. Grab your funeral
fan and visit a spell.”
Cathy Pickens, author of Southern Fried Mysteries
“THE KING IS BACK…and this time he ain’t nuthin’ but a hound dog! Webb’s clever and wickedly witty
comedic mystery takes her readers through a fast-paced family plot, full of irreverent, clever and
entertaining twists.”
Tom Wilson, Creator of ZIGGY
“A fast-paced fun read full of clever narrative and witty dialogue. Kooky, well-written characters,
right down to the dog. Pure entertainment!”
Dixie Cash, DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN YOU AND MY SHOES
“Elvis and the Dearly Departed is pure Southern lunacy of the best possible kind. Read this book, then
give it to your best friend-or anyone else you know who needs a good laugh. I’m already looking forward
to Peggy Webb’s next book. I can’t wait to see what Callie and Elvis get up to next.”
Laurien Berenson, Melanie Travis Mysteries
“Peggy Webb is a comic genius. With the sly wit of a modern-day Mark Twain and the Southern flair
Fried Green Tomatoes, she creates an unforgettable, laugh-aloud story. Elvis and the Dearly Departed
is a must read!”
Charlotte Hughes, WHAT LOOKS LIKE CRAZY
