The case seemed improbable, crazy even, but Floyd couldn't resist it. After all, it isn't every day that a private investigator is hired to track down a woman who eloped with Bigfoot! Floyd sets off for River City, Oregon, clothed in his Elvis jumpsuit as he attempts to solve the case while adhering to living life like Elvis would. Unfortunately, there's more than a missing woman and Bigfoot running amok in River City as Floyd soon finds himself also searching for a chupacabra and a missing piece of cryptotaxidermy while saddled with a companion ironically named Goliath.

BIGFOOT BLUES is the second book in Ricardo Sanchez's Elvis Sightings Mystery series but can easily be read as a standalone. However, details from the first book are revealed in BIGFOOT BLUES and since I've not read ELVIS SIGHTINGS, I don't know if there are spoilers or not. Regardless, I'll be reading ELVIS SIGHTINGS in the near future as I want to see more of Floyd and Ricardo Sanchez's madcap cast of characters.

I laughed so hard I cried while reading BIGFOOT BLUES! Ricardo Sanchez perfectly captures the sheer wackiness of Bigfoot mania while throwing in chupacabras and Elvis impersonators. Part of what makes the absurd seem almost plausible is Floyd himself. He recognizes that others may not appreciate his fondness for wearing Elvis jumpsuits and living life as Elvis would and his own acceptance helps keep the story from descending into the ridiculous.

BIGFOOT BLUES is a crazy tale filled with zany characters, and I absolute loved each and every moment. From the oddities of cryptotaxidermy to the verbal sparring between Floyd and Goliath, each and every moment of BIGFOOT BLUES is laugh out loud hilarious. If you love weird but funny stories, then BIGFOOT BLUES is exactly what you are looking for. I can't wait to see what is in store for Floyd next!
