I have loved the Bubba books.  The stories, the characters, the down home fun...they all come together to make for extremely enjoyable reading.I was so thrilled to see that a new Bubba tale was available.  Unfortunately, after reading it, I have to admit to feeling let down.  It took me days to get through this book.  The zany characters were still there, the mystery was decent, but I felt this story just dragged on and there was too much superfluous goofiness.  Instead of being charming, like the other books in the series, it felt a bit forced and tired.I have loved reading about Bubba and Willodean's blossoming romance, but what has happened to her?  She was always professional and no nonsense, but she came across as shrill and not very attractive in this book.If there is another Bubba book, I will most definitely read it.  I just hope it will be more true to the series than this one.
