Suspicious Mimes

A Blue Suede Memphis Mystery, Book 3

By: Virginia Brown

Narrated by: Karen Commins, Drew Commins

The Elvis impersonators were dead ringers for the King. Very dead.

Harley Jean Davidson's job as a Memphis tour guide is about to get even stranger than usual.

"Hey," she called, "last stop for all Elvi. This is it, sir. Sir?"

He didn't respond, just remained in his seat on the bus, staring out the window. Maybe he'd gotten cold feet about the Elvis contest. With a sigh, Harley walked to the back.

"Hey, buddy," she said when she reached his seat, "we're here. Time to go on stage and sing your heart out. Knock 'em dead."

When he still didn't respond, Harley put a hand on his shoulder to give him a slight shake. He slumped forward, his head hit the back of the seat in front of him, and she jumped into the aisle. The hilt of a knife protruded from his back. She froze. This couldn't be happening. Not to him, not to her, again.

She leaned closer, and the rusty smell of blood made her stomach lurch. Backing slowly away, she fumbled at her waist for the cell phone that she now kept tethered to her with a chain, and hit speed dial. The police dispatcher answered quickly.

"Nine-one-one?" Harley said in a voice that sounded a lot calmer than she felt. "We have another dead Elvis."

Virginia Brown is the author of more than 50 novels, including the best-selling Dixie Divas Mysteries and now, the Blue Suede Memphis Mysteries, starring Harley Jean Davidson. Look for new books in both series, coming in 2012 and 2013.

Fun and entertaining

Any additional comments?

This audiobook is very funny. She manages to make the outlandish situations plausible enough to be laughable. It was a good mystery read as well. I enjoyed it.

Opinion
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio. The narrators, as always, did a great job. The story was light but fascinating.

Great mystery

Love this series and the characters! Great mystery with LOL moments for sure!

I received a free copy and left my honest review

Going for book 4

This review may have spoilers........


Despite previous complaints of Harley going into danger for no valid reason, I keep coming back to these books. This book had more valid reasons than the first two at least, but this behaviour remains a huge turn-off for me.

They are easy to listen to, and I want to know what happens to her. I’m moving on to book 4. I like her and her surrounding characters enough to plug my ears and go “la la la” when she yet again does something kinda stupid or even endangering to her friends and to cops.

The male narrator is disappointing in that his male voices are starting to all blend into a version of the one he uses for Mike, one that was unique and limited to Mike in book one.

I received a free copy of this book.

Another great in this series

Elvis personators hmmm, killing them? Why? That's just what Harley has to find out. I enjoyed this book as well as the others. Well written and narrated. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Couldn't even get past the first chapter

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I found the narration to be difficult to listen to, accents annoying.

What could Virginia Brown have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

It had potential as a story line and that was what drew me to it but other than the first paragraph it couldn't hold my interest.

What didn’t you like about Karen Commins and Drew Commins ’s performance?

Accents seemed forced and voices had little inflection.

What character would you cut from Suspicious Mimes?

Didn't listen to it enough to identify one.
