From the Inside Flap:

Praise for Daniel Klein and Blue Suede Clues

"As tasty as a peanut-butter-and-banana sandwich."--Booklist

"A well-written, interesting story that combines action, good plot development, and a variety of characters."-Mystery News

"An entertaining sequel."--Library Journal

"I enjoyed it."-Bill Clinton

"Klein's entertaining tale is a 'must-read' for die-hard Elvis fans."-Lansing (MI) State Journal

"Blue Suede Clues is a delightful read, based on an intriguing premise. It's just the thing for kicking back on the deck in the summer twilight, mint julep in hand."-Berkshire (MA) Eagle

"Jump on this mystery train...be warned: [Blue Suede Clues] is fast but demanding...it forces you to read on, so there can be a shortage of sleep for a while. Daniel Klein really took care of business again and gladly he didn't think 'Once Is Enough.'"--ElvisNews.com

"A really good plot, an interesting group of characters, add some good writing, a red herring here and there, a pinch of comedy and a souçon of literary license, and you end up with Blue Suede Clues. Klein shook the Elvis fiction world in 2000 with Kill Me Tender, in which he uncovered a hitherto unknown side of Elvis Presley-the amateur sleuth, the USA's answer to Agatha Christie's Hercules Poirot...Klein succeeded in Kill Me Tender, and has done so yet again in his follow-up novel, Blue Suede Clues."-ElvisInPrint.com

"You certainly don't have to be an Elvis fan to want to read this series; you just have to like a good amateur detective story."-MostlyFiction.com
