If you are looking for the greatest literature ever written, you will not find it in "Bubba and the Dead Woman."  If you are looking for a light-hearted enjoyable read, then this is definitely a book to consider.In some ways the books is almost a satire of southern life but it is an affectionately done one.  It is full of stereotypes from Bubba Snoddy's feisty mama who rules not only her own home but also runs the town's "lady's social" (the local euphemism for the women's poker get together) to her long time housekeeper who feels free to sass her to the greedy real estate developer who thinks the Snoddy family "mansion" would be the perfect location for a super Walm-mart - if he could just get the Snoddys to sell.  (And, oh yes, there is even a local Madame with a heart of gold.)I will admit that if someone had given me a barebones description of Bubba Snoddy, I never would have believed that I would find him such an appealing character that I would get so caught up in his quest for justice that I would find myself repeatedly picking up the story on whichever Kindle platform I was on to find out what happened next.Bubba Snoddy is a character to root for, to moan with as yet another obstacle appears in his path and to rejoice with when something good happens for him.  Download the book and meet this very likable character, I suspect you will be glad you did.
