January 8th, and it’s Elvis’s birthday. In Hogg’s Drive-In, where the King many times had a burger before he became famous, they are celebrating by showing Elvis’s very first pair of blue suede shoes. But someone steals the shoes from their showcase. Enter Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin, The Domestic Equalizers. Debbie’s husband is away and she feels that they can both solve the crime without any help. Things get complicated when thousands of fans come to the city to see the shoes. Then there is the local sherriff, who is rather simple. Two young reporters are also in town, hoping to get a good story. As Debbie and Edwina are professional multi-taskers, a little bit of matchmaking seems to be in order too.

I love these stories about these two funny and entertaining women. Dixie Cash has a way of making the south come alive and gives her readers a wild ride with quirky characters, an interesting plot and lots of fun and games. This story twists and turns as the Domestic Equalizers try to solve the case of the missing shoes and get the two reporters together. I have read previous books in this series and have enjoyed them very much. I was a little disappointed that the crime aspect was not really the main point in this story, but all in all, this is still a book you don’t want to put down until the last page is read. Sharper than a red hot chili and smoother that Texas oil let Dixie Cash take you on a trip you will never forget!

THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THIS BOOK. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE UNBIASED REVIEW.
