Summary: Great Private Eye Novel
Review: This is the best novel of its genre that I have ever read, and I have probably read too many. I have read several other Robert Crais Elvis Cole novels and have enjoyed them all; but I enjoyed "Lullaby Town" the most. I am looking forward to reading all the Robert Crais I can get my hands on

Summary: THE BEST ONE YET!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is the third book I have read by Robert Crais in the Elvis Cole series. Trying to read them in order. I think this is the best one so far. Elvis and Joe Pike are great together. Still wonder if Spencer and Hawk could take them but think it would be a pretty close match. Elvis is hired to find the son of Peter Alan Nelsen. He had left him and his wife years ago. Elvis finds them but they now have mob connections and the mob does not want to give the wife up. Elvis and Joe then take on the mob. Coles fast mind and quick wit get him into and out of trouble. Pike is always around someehere. You may not see him but he is there. A very good mystery and Crais holds you attention. I found myself nearly skipping pages to find out what happened next. IF you like a good fast paced book you will like this one.

Summary: Lullaby Town
Review: To set the stage, I am a Spenser or Robert Parker fan. I read every book he writes when I want to relax and start and finish a book in the same weekend. Elvis Cole and Robert Crais are on the same level. I have been consuming Crais' books one after the other since I first found L.A. Requiem. Lullaby Town is another hit with more Pike and food and action and humor. If you like one of his novels, you'll like 'em all.

Summary: One of the better Elvis Cole novels
Review: Twelve years ago, Karen Shipley was seventeen years old and had dreams of becoming a movie star. She married a struggling film director and had a son with him. Fourteen months into the marriage her husband leaves her and she goes and tries to start a new life.Twelve years later, Peter Alan Nelsen, Karen's former husband, is one of the most successful film directors in Hollywood. For some unexplained reason he wants to mend out his wrongs and try to find her ex-wife and son. He wants to be a part of his son's life so he hires Elvis Cole to try to find her. Elvis finds Karen, now living a somewhat idyllic life, and her whole world turns upside down once she is found. This is one of the better Elvis Cole novels that I read. He does a good job in fleshing out Karen's character from the naïve girl she used to be to the mature single mom trying to do right for her son. She had to do some sacrifices for her son. Her story was well told and it seemed plausible. Peter Alan Nelsen has never grown up and he is a caricature of the overly rich and famous. He is arrogant, pompous and egotistical. The circumstances in the book will turn him into someone wanting to be a better person. I was becoming disappointed with the Elvis Cole novels but this one might just change my mind. Elvis is still his wise guy self and his partner, Joe Pike is still the strong silent type. I liked that Crais used this novel to do more character development with Cole's clients while still giving something about Cole and Pike for any first timer reading his stories.
