Resumen del Editor
She's named after a motorcycle. Her dad's an Elvis impersonator. Her mom talks to spirit guides....
Someone's kidnapped the family dog - named King, in Elvis' honor. There's a ransom note....
And then things really get weird.
Memphis tour guide Harley Jean Davidson is about to enjoy a rare day off when her parents call with news that King, their border collie, has been dognapped. Harley Jean's mom insists the culprit is Bruno Jett, their next door neighbor. Harley Jean would rather run over her own foot with a motorcycle than talk to him. He's drop-dead gorgeous - with a dangerous attitude she'd like to avoid.
But King has to be rescued, so she sets off to find him. Harley Jean gets more than she bargains for when she finds a body, as well. Bruno Jett is definitely involved, but how?
The Memphis P.D. wants to pin the murder on Harley Jean's dad. Now it's up to her to clear his name...and avoid becoming the killer's next victim.
Virginia Brown is the author of more than 50 novels, including the bestselling Dixie Diva mystery series.

Historia
Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Revving up with Harley
Hound dog Blues
Who but a hippy, bike lovin' Elvis fan would name his girl child Harley Jean Davidson?
Well, that would be daddy, Yogi, now Yogi also has a dog, King, he loves this dog and feels a great spiritual attachment to him. The dog doesn't care much about all that stuff, as time after time he gets loose and causes chaos in the neighbourhood.
Harley, now a tour guide, gets the call. Find King. A simple enough request you may think, but wait! There's more ....... King hasn't simply gone missing, he has been dog napped! There's even a ransom note, very odd, thinks Harley, as everyone know Yogi and Diva barely make a living selling hippy stuff.
Harley immediately has a suspect in mind, Mrs. Trimble. King had taken to visiting her in the past, and they had developed a very unfortunate relationship. Mrs. Trimble also had no love for Yogi either, and so begins Harleys' outrageous adventure!
There is a body, there are missing jewels, and there is a missing Yogi and Diva who have now become prime suspects in a dreadful crime. It's all left to Harley to put right.
Meanwhile she gets her fashion advice from her coworker Tootsie, who also works part time as a drag artist, he knows everything a girl would want to know about hair and make up. She annoys the heck out of certain officers of the law, takes advantage of friends' homes ... and eats a lot of bean burritos.
This story takes the reader on a rollicking adventure with Harley, naturally, she solves the mysteries providing us with plenty of fun along the way. I enjoyed the characters and I'm hoping to get to know them better. I also enjoyed my visit to Memphis.
Narrator
I must admit, I was a bit concerned, as this book has both a male and female narrators, Karen Commins and Drew Commins. Following a few less than satisfactory experiences I wouldn't normally choose to listen to a book with more than one narrator, I knew Karen would be good, she's always good, but what about this Drew fella? Well, actually he too is very good, excellent distinct characterisation, no overacting, good timing, pleasant listening.
However, there is a big difference in the listening experience when there is more than one narrator, and I'm still not sure I care for it. There always the feeling that one of them is speaking from another room, or as if we are listening to them on speakerphone, and, for some reason, it's always the male voice. I've noticed this on all my audiobooks that have more than one narrator.
I think it's just a matter of preference though, I do know other listeners love to hear both male and female readers, so, maybe I should just get over it!

Great new series
Loved the start to this series. I really enjoy this author and narrator from a previous series and hope to review each book in this series. Loved the twist on a woman slueth that rides a motorcycle and, of course, is southern! This book was really hard to put down so I finished it pretty quickly. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Okay Performance of a Good Story
If you're up for comedy mystery, this is your book!
You MUST have a sense of humor if you plan to dive into a Memphis-based mystery in which the main character, Harley Jean Davidson, yes, she is named after a motorcycle, has an Elvis-impersonating father named Yogi, a mom, named Diva, who talks to spirit guides and the family dog, King (named after the King of Rock and Roll) is nabbed.
This is simply a fun, purely entertaining read - light, easy to put down and pick up again if you have small bits of time to read or are interrupted often.
I volunteered to listen to this book when the main narrator offered it on Goodreads with no review necessary. I was surprised that a review was not being asked, but I now understand. Getting the book "out there" is the hard part because once it is begun, you don't want to not finish the book(even if you find it a fairly predictable conclusion). There is plenty of entertainment to keep your interest to the end.
I have a great preference for audiobooks as I find narrators add so much more to a story than my internal reading voice. Not only do narrators read all of the words (you laugh, but I am sure I am not alone, when I am carried by a story, to find that I skim to get to the highlight of scenes), but experienced narrators capture the appropriate tone in their voice as well as the correct accent called for by the author. My inner reading voice doesn't do accents well, and tags for the verbal tone of a character often come after the dialogue. It is not overly helpful to read the dialogue, and then read that the words were spoken with laughter or with tears or in a whisper or with a shakey voice. Good narrators and good preparation, though, allow for the dialogue to be spoken with the intended emotion. Furthermore, I enjoy multiple narrators when the author writes their story with multiple points of view, though, good narrators can read more than one POV well, even when the POVs include both genders.
In this case, I am moved by the story to post this review, though not particularly moved by the narrators' performance to seek the next books in audio form. I recommend this book, but have caution to communicate about the audiobook form.
The book is told from one POV, Harley Jean, read by Karen Commins. When the story comes to male dialogue, Drew Commins, Karen's husband, speaks the dialogue rather than Karen. His narration seemed forced and stilted. I believe Karen should have been the sole narrator as the book is written in one POV -- the male voice for male dialogue was not seamless, but actually a bit of a distraction as it did not sound as natural as the lead narrator.

Good story; whiney listen
Would you listen to Hound Dog Blues again? Why?
The story was entertaining, however I had to force myself to finish because of the narrator's whiney rendition of the main character. The constant what I can only describe as "whining" voice made me want to turn it off. I listen to books to relax if I want to hear whining I'll listen to my kids (Jk) seriously, it made me think of the character as a 13 year old teenager!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Hound Dog Blues?
I like the author's humor and found myself laughing out loud
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Karen Commins and Drew Commins ?
I like Karen Cummins who narrates the other series by this author, maybe it was the producer but really a character this age whining to the other characters was just annoying and took away from the story
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I had to take breaks from the narrator
Any additional comments?
I like this author and narrator but think that the voice should be age appropriate and fortunately I don't see this type of whining appropriate for the age of the character.

Cozy Little Mystery
Harley Jean Davidson is not your normal daughter of middle aged hippies because she knows how to solve a mystery. Harley's first mystery is to find the person who kidnapped her father's dog King but that leads to her finding a dead body. Harley unwittingly gets mixed up in murder, insurance theft, jewelry theft and a hot young policeman. This book encompasses from dog napping, murder, theft, comedy and a cast of quirky characters especially a Harley Davidson riding woman named you guessed it Harley Davidson. I loved the quirky characters and the very intricate storyline that has more angles than a rubik's cube. I loved both narrator's Drew and Karen Commins and their awesome voices they really do bring the book justice. I highly recommend this book if you love different cozy mysteries.
I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed and this is my honest unbiased review.

Great characters
This book had great characters. Harley riding Harley Jean Davidson, a tour guide in the land of Elvis is the daughter of aging hippies Yogi, an Elvis impersonator, and Diva who talks to spirits guides. Their dog King, named of course for Elvis, is kidnapped and they ask Harley to find him. Enter the cranky neighbor lady who hates King and Yogi, the creepy but hunky guy who just moved in next door who might be a jewel thief, the detective Harley has history with, and of course a dead body discovered by none other than Harley Jean. The mystery wasn't the deepest or most intriguing, as is typical of a cozy mystery, but the great characters and comedy made up for it. Promising beginning to a series. I wasn't really fond of the narration. It sounded like someone reading a book, not becoming that character. Harley Jean deserves better.

3.45/5 Stars
3.45/5 Stars Hounddog Blues by Virginia Brown
Narrated by Karen Commins, Drew Commins
Run Time: 8 hrs 38 mins
Summary:
A dog gets dognapped, and Harley Jean Davidson sets out to find him. Her parents sort of flee the law for a while until things cool down. The Main Character inserts herself into an investigation in a bid to get the Crime Stoppers reward money.
Additional Comments:
- Narration 3.5/5 stars: This could have been handled by Karen Commins alone. The edits were decently done, but she seemed to have a better range of voices. I couldn’t tell most of the male characters from one another, especially at the end.
- Content Warning: It was mostly a clean book, except for some curses, until the end when in a bid for humor the action turned very crude. And then the end scene. It was handled well enough not to be filed with steamy, but it probably kicks it out of cozy.
- I wouldn’t really qualify it as a cozy mystery at all. Maybe amateur sleuth and female amateur detective, but not cozy. Don’t think I’d qualify it as a comedy either. There are slapstick things that happen, but it didn’t strike me as particularly humorous.
- I feel like the character’s one of dozens I’ve read already. Kinda down on her luck, out to prove somebody innocent, the normal one in a pack of weirdos, etc.
- There are colorful characters around the MC. The cross-dressing tech support guy is probably my favorite of the bunch. Kamy (sorry, I heard the audio, so I have no idea on spelling)
- It’s not much of a romance or much of a mystery. She just sort of bumbles around until the answers leap out and smack her.
- The title and cover are very misleading. It starts with the dog, but it doesn’t focus on that long.
- The MC’s relationship with her folks is odd. She refers to them as Yogi and Diva. I think that’s a reference to the author’s main series. Her brother is useless. Literally and figuratively. Waste of page space. I think his only function is to prove the MC’s not herself a complete waste of space.
Conclusion:
It’s okay. Not sure I’d seek out another book about this character, but it kept me occupied for the 5 ish hours it took to listen.
*I picked it up on a free code site. This is my honest opinion.

Good start, looking forward to more
This was cute. Took a bit to get into, and I almost quit because it felt a little dusty at first, but it may have been my mood at the start. I am glad I stuck with it.
The narrator does an interesting voice for the main male character—I really like it—and some funny side character voices that reminded me of Blanche from Golden Girls, and Gomer Pyle from Andy Griffith.
I received a free copy of this.

So, So, Bad
I bought the first two in the series today (for cash, not credits) b/c I liked the idea -- I love Memphis, dogs, and Elvis, so what's not to like? Wrong! These are going back right away, and I only listened to about two chapters of one book. The narrator's relationship with her parents is not credible; the depiction of her parents as feckless, helpless, inconsistent old hippies is intensely irritating (to this old hippie anyway).
