CAT IN A JEWELED JUMPSUIT

An Elvis impersonation contest is the setting, and Temple Bar, private eye, is on the case. Thompson's throaty voice draws the listener into the character as she hunts for an elusive ghost. Gilliland depicts the ghost of Elvis with a charming Southern drawl that is slow and sensual as he calls into the local radio show at midnight each night, implying that Elvis never died. Forster represents the shrewd and irreverent feline private eye, Midnight Louie, who is joined by Chatter, the hit man's chimp. Together they track down the killer of the Elvis impersonators. Elvis's music is nostalgic and pleasant to the ear. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 00]
