Curing The Blues With A New Pair Of Shoes (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I'm not gonna rate this book, due to the fact that I never finished it. I've tried really hard to finish these books. It's just that every time I think of picking up these & continuing to read, I end up instead burry my head under the covers & sleep. I'm depressed enough, I don't need books to help with that. Don't get me wrong I really like these characters ESPECIALLY Edwina! I'm just not into mysteries. I've come to think of these books as CLEAN southern mysteries. There really isn't much to the romance to be called romantic or even a Love story for my tastes. I get a lot more romance out of my historical romances than I did any of these. I thought that I could get past there not being any real romance & just enjoy Edwina, but I guess I can't. Sorry, I DID try. Curing the Blues with a New Pair of Shoes, by Dixie Cash, B. narrated by Peggity Price, produced by Recorded Books, downloaded from audible.com.The fifth in the Domestic Equalizers/Style Station books with Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin off on another case and also matching up new friends. Saltlick Texas is having an Elvis festival to which all kinds of Elvis impersonators are expected to come. And some anonymous person, supposedly from a museum, offers to lend them for this festival Elvis Presley’s blue suede shoes. But the day the festival opens, the blue suede shoes disappear. Debbie Sue and Edwina get the idea to put an old pair of Edwina’s husband’s slippers in there while they quietly look for the real shoes. People go through the exhibit paying $5.00 apiece to see the shoes and don’t realize they aren’t the real thing. In addition to all of this, two journalists from opposing papers, both young, one a man and one a woman, both beautiful, of course, come to town to cover the festivities. Debbie Sue and Edwina are up to their usual tricks-looking for the shoes, and matchmaking. This is, as are the others, a very funny book. However, this one in some ways was a little too sweet. No murders, and too many alleged Elvis sightings. It went just over the edge to too cozy for me, but I’ll keep reading these books anyway because they’re hilarious. And Peggity Price does all the Texas accents so well.
