Book Reviews of Indigo Slam: An Elvis Cole Novel
Book Review: More Elvis, More kids...more good stuff
Summary: 4 Stars
Elvis is back. As I work my way through the Cole series, I see Crais and Elvis both growing. I like how see we the evolution of both and the growing of Lucy. A good story, with some geniune surprises. You might be able to figure out a couple, but Crais will surprise you with the others. Elvis is always out to help kids and does it again...I wonder...why? What is Elvis dealing with in his past? Well, I have three more novels to go (up to THe Forgotten Man), so maybe I will find out. Counterfeiting details are good, if not a bit dry, but another solid Pike-Cole novel.Book Review: Good read
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first Robert Crais book but it won't be my last. I especially enjoyed his (the author's and Elvis's) voice - casual, laid back, self-deprecating.
Crais gets a lot of meat in one descriptive paragraph and, as such, is a master of characterization. I especially liked what he did with the kids and the girlfriend.
The plot twist at the end might have been a tad too much, but it was forgivable given all that went on before.
Good read.

Book Review: A Cut Above the Rest!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was probably my least favorite Elvis Cole novel by Crais. That said, his average novel is better than most. Elvis is drawn into a mystery when three kids show up at his office asking for assistance in finding their missing Father. As Elvis investigates, he finds himself into a mystery involving Russian mobsters, Vietnamese revolutionaries and the Witness Protection Progam.
Elvis enlists Joe Pike of course and we delve deeper into Elvis' relationship with Lucy Chenier. Keep 'em coming Robert.
Book Review: Just good
Summary: 4 Stars
The story of the counterfeiter is interesting but you can't say this is a real RC's thriller, the book will keep you reading but it has some voids and some parts that just couldn't be as easy as is written in the book (the way the mob accepted everything that Cole said), but this doesn't mean that is a boring story. Albeit is a good reading is not the best of this californian detective, may be is a good beach read, or in a long flight when you can read a while and rest a while.
Book Review: not as good as some
Summary: 4 Stars
Little less detail than others. Not that I didn't enjoy this novel just not as riveted as before. Perhaps because Ive read later work.
