I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  It was a clever, tongue-in-cheek mystery romp.  Some parts were laugh out loud funny.  The characters were immensely interesting and enjoyable.I liked how the author underscored that many of the characters were, indeed, very intelligent and savvy.  Sometimes Southern based books do not showcase this and that's a shame.  You wouldn't expect a part time mechanic named Bubba to be quite as sharp and proactive as our protagonist, but he teaches us a little something about his moxy and crime solving abilities.I also liked that the true villain of the piece was not evident throughout the book.  I found myself formulating my own ideas about the killer's identity only to have them disproven time and again.The ONLY downside to this book was its editing.  You see this frequently in the free and reduced offerings.  Spelling and grammatical errors in some books are irritating.  In this one they just made me sorry because this is SUCH a terrific book and it deserved a presentation that was as slick and enjoyable as the writing.  I would have given it a full 5 stars had it not been for the editing.I'm looking forward to reading other 'Bubba' books.
