Voodoo River

 Shirley J.         Adult Fiction Mystery           Private Eye, Celebrity seeking to find identities of her biological parents

Voodoo River Book 5 of 19 in the Elvis Cole and Joe Pike series by Robert Crais     323 pages

Excellent story of L.A. private eye, Elvis Cole who is hired by celebrity t.v. star, Jody Taylor, who was put up for adoption at birth and who wants to find out the identities of her biological parents.   Elvis Cole's search takes him to the bayou of Louisiana.   While some facts turn up pretty easy, Elvis is good at his job afterall, some things lead to others and there turns up to be a dark history with family secrets, murder and a lot of mayhem going on with several folks stirring the pot to find out the same info Elvis is looking for.   Seems there is more going on to this story than Elvis was lead to believe and no one is exactly who they seem to be nor are they above board nor sharing all they know.   I really enjoyed the many characters brought in, the story line is a very good one and I think anyone would enjoy this gem, though maybe I would recommend adults as it might be more enjoyable to the older crowd.  I want to know more about Elvis and his side kick Joe Pike.   I think I will go back and start with book one on these guys journey.
