From Kirkus Reviews
Cat In A Jeweled Jumpsuit ($24.95; Nov. 8; 384 pp.; 0-312-86817-0) Has Elvis returned to the building? Maybe so, if it's Las Vegas's Crystal Phoenix Hotel, whose remodeling, according to the workmen, is being interrupted by the King's ghost. Midnight Louie, the feline investigator with more lives than Elvis (Cat in an Indigo Mood, p. 180, etc.), and his favorite human, p.r. flack Temple Barr, work to lay the ghost before he can claim more victims who aren't screaming with delight. (Author tour) -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

From Library Journal
In this mystery, feline sleuth Midnight Louie, performed by Robert Forster, is bemoaning his lackluster career as a television commercial star and getting bored. He can't imagine why he's not a bigger success when "that fake Salem on Sabrina is doing so well." When his human partner, Temple Barr (read by Andrea Thompson), gets a call inviting her to leave California for Las Vegas, Midnight Louie shakes off his black mood to tag along. When the extensive remodeling of the Crystal Phoenix Hotel falls behind, the workmen believe that the ghost of Elvis (read by actor Richard Gilliland) is causing their problems. Elvis, who may or may not have faked his own death in 1977, doesn't want the tacky theme attraction as an homage despite his having "made Las Vegas." Death threats against Priscilla and late-night phone calls revealing Colonel Parker's gambling secrets only add to Midnight Louie's problems of how to determine whether or not the king is really dead. Filled with puns, pop culture allusions, and humor, this audio is great fun for the listener. Recommended for popular fiction collections.

I returned home from a recent trip to Memphis, where we toured Graceland, to find "Cat in a Jeweled Jumpsuit" in the mail awaiting my arrival. The coincidence was amazing. Finished reading it last night and think it is one of the best books I have ever read. The author's thought process gets deeper with each book and her exploration of the never-ending Elvis mystique casts an accurate eye on the sociology of the 50's and 60's and the perception of those times having been so innocent. Having been a teenager in the 1950's, I could also totally relate to the Electra character. The author's use of words gets cleverer and funnier with each book. As with any "whodunit," you have to keep reading to find out who was the perp, but you finish the book with sadness because there will be no more show-stoppers on each page. Thank you, Carole, so much for Temple and Louie and Chatter and all the rest of them!

Great book for Louie lovers & Elvis fans. And for those who aren't Elvis fans or too young, there's something to be learned. Another fun adventure for Louie, Temple & you.

Very Disappointing. So different from the previous books in this series. Way too much Elvis trivia not enough of the cast of characters I have grown to love. The only reason I made it to the end of this book was the hope that the next one will be better and I will need to know what went before. My advise... borrow it from the library. But don't give up on the series yet.

Good story- too much trivia
enjoyed the book, but it was so wordy and loaded with trivia that I found myself skimming and skipping a lot just to get to the plot.

Disappointing outing for Midnight Louie
Although the premise is fascinating - is Elvis alive and appearing at a competion for Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas? I found the execution of this installment somewhat dull. Lesen Sie weiter...
