.The Watchman: A Joe Pike Novel (Joe Pike Novels) by: Robert Crais January 29, 2008 This is a great book! Totally entertaining. I picked it up yesterday afternoon and finished it several hours later. Great diversion. Story has a fast moving plotline with lots of twists and turns. But it works. And feels 'real' - meaning it doesn't rely on completely outlandish, unbelievable events to keep the pace up (um, well, maybe there are a few that stretch credulity, but all in all, plausible). And the characters are vividly cast and interesting. They really come to life. Pike is a real man's man - yet has a sensitive side to him that helps round out the appeal. Even the Paris Hilton-lookalike is likeable as she turns out to have some substance as the story progresses. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Watchman: A Joe Pike Novel (Joe Pike Novels) |

.Indigo Slam: An Elvis Cole Novel by: Robert Crais February 04, 2003 Robert Crais is a highly skilled crime writer, and I think his "Elvis Cole" series is well worth reading. Unfortunately, INDIGO SLAM, the seventh novel in the series, is a flat and uninspired installment. INDIGO SLAM starts out quite well, with three young children hiring Cole to find their missing father. But it doesn't take Cole very long to find out where he is, and all the mystery of the plot soon evaporates. The last two thirds of this book is pretty much a lot of action, mostly at the expense of characterization. Cole doesn't have much at stake in the storyline, and you ever really worry about his safety. I also didn't really care for the father at all, and his three children are little more than stereotypes. In the ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Indigo Slam: An Elvis Cole Novel |

.The Monkey's Raincoat by: Robert Crais March 01, 1992 This is my first Crais novel and was told in a newspaper review of his latest Elvis Cole book to go back and start with the first Cole adventure. I am so glad I did. It was a great introduction! I will now read every one of them. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Monkey's Raincoat |

.L.A. Requiem (Elvis Cole Novels) by: Robert Crais February 01, 2000 The Best of Robert Crais' Elvis Cole's novels. I enjoyed this novel most because of more participation of Joe Pike. I like Elvis alot, but I just love Joe!. I hope that Crais writes another novel with Joe Pike as his primary subject. And I also love the Elvis character when he's funny and sarcastic, and funny. This is a very, very wonderful read. One you almost do not want to finish reading it. >>See More Reviews & Details on L.A. Requiem (Elvis Cole Novels) |

.Stalking the Angel by: Robert Crais March 01, 1992 STALKING THE ANGEL is the second novel in Robert Crais' "Elvis Cole" series, about a private detective in Los Angeles. I though it was a pretty enjoyable read, although a bit too derviative of Robert Parker's Spenser novels. Elvis Cole is like Spenser in a variety of ways: he's a non-stop comedian, he's a war vet with a code of honor, he has an ultra-tough sidekick (named "Pike" instead of "Hawk"), he has a love-hate relationship with the cops, and his clients are typically rich, privileged, oversexed, and insufferably arrogant. The plot of STALKING THE ANGEL, which involves a missing Japanese manuscript, reminds me of the first Spenser novel, which also involves a missing manuscript. Elvis Cole also tries to "save" a young girl from her dysfunctional ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Stalking the Angel |

.The Forgotten Man (Elvis Cole Novels) by: Robert Crais January 31, 2006 This was my first Robert Crais book and I can understand why he has such a following. This book grabs you from the start. The protagonist, Elvis, is slowly revealed through wonderful flashbacks as he tries to discover the identity of a murder victim who claimed, with his dying breath, that Elvis was his son. Since Elvis never knew his father, this is possible and the situation builds reader curiosity. The dialogue throughout is great. It is real and tangible. Crais knows how to set up a scene. Reading the book is like watching a movie in your mind! Each chapter brings the reader a bit closer to the identity of the murder victim. Even as the murder man's identity is revealed, the plot moves to finding the murderer and the motive. ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Forgotten Man (Elvis Cole Novels) |

.Free Fall by: Robert Crais April 01, 1994 Nobody hits a homerun all the time. This author and his characters are usually so excellent they can certainly be forgiven a slip like this one. Several times I thought the lead character's ego got in the way of evidence and common sense and when one especially senseless death occurred I thought--remember Elvis they asked you to back off! Skip this one and continue on with this first rate series. >>See More Reviews & Details on Free Fall |
