Elvis resorts to warm-hearted patronizing when young Teresa "Teri"
Haines tows her snotty 12-year-old brother Charles and sweet
nine-year-old sister Winona into his West Los Angeles office. Teri
announces that her decision to hire Cole comes from her library
research of old newspaper articles that praised him. She located him
through his Yellow Pages ad and is ready to pay cash for his time.
Clark Haines, the kids' father, has been missing 11 days. Haines
travels often, and their mother died five years earlier in a traffic
accident, so the children are used to being on their own. But this
extended disappearance has them worried.
While Cole's immediate inclination is to report the Haines kids to
Children's Services, he is impressed by Teri and agrees to consider the
job.
I have tried to read these books in sequence and I must say, although you could read them in any order and still enjoy them, some of the jokes are more apparent when read in sequence for example I love the old man at the airport that crops up in a coupl eof the books. The feeling of deja vu that Elvis experiences is similar to a reader that has read the books over a longer period of time, and would be missed if read in the wrong order.
