Publisher Description
Callie Valentine Jones can't think of a better way to check out of her personal Heartbreak Hotel then to accept her cousin Lovie's timely invite to get away in Cozumel, where her brainy beau is digging up bones for research. But the moment Callie and her loyal good luck charm Elvis arrive, trouble greets them in the form of a skeleton too fresh to be ancient history and too dead to spell anything but homicide. Suspicious minds blame ghosts and gods, but Callie knows the guilty party is all too human--and for once, she's determined not to get involved.
That determination flies right out the window when Lovie and Elvis go missing. It's now or never, if Callie wants to save her cousin and her canine from someone who's got murder always on his mind.
"Prepare to laugh out loud." --Library Journal
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Webb's frothy fourth Southern Cousins mystery (after 2010's Elvis and the Memphis Mambo Murders) takes Callie Valentine Jones and her irrepressible basset hound, Elvis, from Mooreville, Miss., to Mexico. There they and other family members join cousin Lovie and Lovie's boyfriend, Rocky, who's working at an archeological dig near Cozumel. When Elvis retrieves a human bone from the dig site that's definitely not from an ancient Mayan, Callie's ditzy mother remarks, "Looks like murder's afoot among the ruins." After Lovie and Elvis disappear, Callie, who prefers her occupation as a hairdresser to that of detective, becomes involved in yet another investigation, which becomes even more complicated by the appearance of Jack Jones, her soon to be ex-husband (she hopes!). Zany characters combine with a witty plot in a cozy sure to please series fans and attract new ones.
