Lovie is in Mexico with Rocky enjoying the tropical nights
in the Yucatan. However, Rocky isn't taking advantage of
Lovie's charms and she is desperate. Callie finds herself
heading down there with their Grandmother, Ruby Nell, Uncle
Charlie, Ruby Nell's best friend, Fayrene and her dog,
Elvis.
First Lovie is kidnapped and then Callie. Ruby Nell and
Fayrene will stop shopping and start communing with the
ghosts who haunt the dig.
Callie has two men occupying her thoughts: her almost ex-
husband Jack and Champ back home. Champ is a very nice
man who is waiting for an answer to his proposal. The big
problem is that Jack is the one who sets her heart aflutter.
When Lovie is kidnapped and Elvis disappears with her, Uncle
Charlie brings in Jack to aid in the search. Promising to
sign the papers, Jack still takes every opportunity to kiss
Callie.
The third in the Southern Cousin mysteries, the reader will
be entertained throughout this story. The usual cast of
characters with all their quirks and Elvis, reincarnated in
a basset body will make keep the mood light.
It's two times the turmoil for mayhem magnet Callie, her
curvaceous cousin Lovie, and Elvis, the King reincarnated as
nothin' but a hound dog. This time they're finding a lot
more than relics on an archeological dig that could truly be
their ruin. . .
Forced to choose between one man who wants to marry her and
another who already did, Callie Valentine Jones can't think
of a better way to check out of her personal Heartbreak
Hotel then to get way, way out of town. So when Lovie
invites the whole Valentine clan to visit her brainy new
beau's worksite near Cozumel, Callie packs up her crooning
basset hound and heads straight for the airport.
But the moment they arrive at the dig, Elvis sniffs out
T-R-O-U-B-L-E, in the form of a skeleton too fresh to be
part of the research 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 goes 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. And when her sexy ex arrives to save the
day, she'll have to keep her head together, because her love
won't wait--but neither will a killer with something deadly
to hide.
