This was an entertaining mystery...Bubba Snoddy, his mother Miz Demetrice, the sheriff and his deputies, and really the entire town of Pegramville, Texas are fairly stereotypical gun toting good ol' boys and girls. That said, they were entertaining... I don't know how much room that leaves for character growth in future stories, but it works in this one. And there's more to Bubba than appears.I enjoy the author's use of interesting words and phrases... while it isn't entirely keeping with the expectations of a small southern town, it messed it interesting and enjoyable to read. I really enjoy unusual words used correctly in a way that fits and flows naturally.While I was mostly able to figure out whodunit, the plot kept me reading and interested. There was enough to let me figure it out, but not so obvious as to make me want to just skip to the end. And while some plot points were so far fetched they strained my ability to suspend disbelief, they were again done in a manner that didn't entirely hinder the telling of the story.overall, it was a nice little diversion, and a cozy sort of mystery.
