Publisher Description
The best-selling Dixie Cash novels featuring Domestic Equalizers Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin go down like a cold sarsaparilla on a hot Texas day. Hey, baby, Debbie and Edwina aren't likely to thank anybody very much when a despicable sneak thief pilfers Elvis Presley's blue suede shoes-the main exhibit at a Salt Lick, Texas, festival for the King. But with everyone's favorite Southern detectives on the case, the proceedings are likely to be as tasty as a bacon, banana, and peanut-butter sandwich.

"OK, so these books have to be just as representative of Texas as Stephanie Plum is of New Jersey, but this series still makes me happy as I read the improbable adventures of Debbie Sue and Edwina in keeping Salt Lick safe for livin.""

“As Salt Lick fills with Elvis lovers, the pseudonymous Cash (a Texas writing-sisters duo) taps winningly into the Elvis myth.”

" it was a good , mindless, quick read for a weekend. it was full of texas witt and hospitality. it could have been just as mindless, witty, and quick without all of the vulgar language though. "
— Jenny, 2/17/2014 -
" SuBC task -- cover that makes you laugh or humor book "
— Beth, 2/5/2014 -
" Debbie Sue and Edwina enjoy the Elvis festival in their own little home town and become hosts to visitors who fall in love. I little predictable. "
— Connie, 2/3/2014 -
" i wanted to read a "light" book... this is definitely light. but maybe i'm just not a "light book" person... didn't enjoy it that much. "
— Chandra, 1/28/2014 -
" Hillarious, as always. I kinda predicted the twist. But, that was okay in this instance. It didn't ruin the story by any means. "
— Toni, 1/18/2014 -
" Not really a mystery at all but romance. Ed and Debbie Joe are funny gals. They're also great matchmakers. Nothing bad really happens in this one either. I was hoping for more excitement. And I wasn't surprised who stole Elvis's blue suede shoes. "
— Cindi, 1/17/2014 -
" luved it! still hilarious as always! "
— Mandy, 1/4/2014 -
" This book was good, but not as good as the previous books in this series. The story was slow getting started, rather than getting my attention from page one. There were some good recipes and facts included at the end of the book... "
— Gay, 1/1/2014 -
" Fun read, a little mystery, humor = cozy mystery. "
— Nerdtobe, 12/12/2013 -
" A light-hearted crime-solver. I actually selected the book because I liked the cover. The old gals who own a beauty salon and detective agency take the cake! "
— Edie, 11/7/2013 -
" These books are just fun and light reading. "
— Tiana, 10/17/2013 -
" This was a book club selection. I have read many bleh book club selections. But this rates up there with some of the worst. 291 pages of bad comedic banter. So full of stereotypical characters, situations, and dialog that I began to wonder....maybe it's meant to be a parody of bad writing??? "
— Deb, 10/17/2013 -
" I love the title's of Cash's books. Although Curing the Blues is probably my least favorite. "
— Ann, 10/11/2013 -

" I wanted to like this book more. The characters were great. But the mystery was a bit boring. "
— Melissa, 11/24/2012 -
" very light read but great for the day on the plane - also the "afterword" about Elvis was very interesting "
— Zimmer, 10/7/2012 -
" This is entertaining as are all of Dixie Cash's books. The mystery of who stole the Blue Suede shoes got a little lost in the romance though. "
— Jennifer, 9/13/2012 -

About Dixie Cash
Dixie Cash is Pamela Cumbie and her sister Jeffery McClanahan. They grew up in West Texas during the great oil boom, an era filled with “real-life fictional” characters who cry to be written about. Pam has always had a zany sense of humor and Jeffery has always had a dry wit. Surrounded by cowboys and steeped in country-western music, when they can stop laughing long enough they work together creating hilarity on paper. Both live in Texas—Pam in the Fort Worth–Dallas Metroplex and Jeffery in a small town near Fort Worth.
