I am a big fan of the Bubba novels.  In the previous two I must admit I took a liking to Brownie.In this side novel or Volume 3.5 it is not necessary to have read any of the other novels although it would aid in understanding the nuances of the characters if you do read the books in order.Bubba and the Dead Woman,Bubba and the 12 Deadly Days of Christmas,Bubba and the Missing Woman.Unlike the Bubba novels, Bubba takes a minor part.  The H/h are Brownie, Bubba's 2nd cousin or is it 1st cousin once removed, and Janie, Deputy Willodean's niece.  Both are visiting their relations over their spring breaks.  After having discovered Sam Spade, Brownie decides he is a gumshoe and Janie well she is a flat foot in the making. Together they follow the clues of the various missing items until the case is solved.While I can understand some other reviewers finding this a simple mystery and have an issue with children as the leads, I did not.  I found the duo funny and thoroughly enjoyed their jaunt around town.  Bubba, Miz Demetrice, Deputy Willodean and Precious all make an appearance to add to the hilarity.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STORY AND SERIES.
