*****WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILERS*****I have read all of the Bubba books and absolutely love them.  Each one is a funny little gem of quirkiness.  Because of my enjoyment of that series I decided to read another one of C.L. Bevill's works.BIG MISTAKEIt is honestly hard to believe that these books were written by the same author.  Where the Bubba books move effortlessly through the plot, 'Dial M for Mascara' is a disjointed, tiresome series of idiotic dialogue and soft core porn.The endless nattering between the characters, especially between Mary Grace and her best friend is so idiotic and 'Shecky Greene' like that it becomes exhausting from the very start.It is supposed to be a comedic mystery, but the level of insipid disregard for the danger the title character is in makes it anything but funny.Many of the characters are clownish and one often wonders what purpose they serve in the story.I ended up deleting this from my Kindle at 70%.  I tried to hang on in an effort to discover who was trying to kill Mary Grace and why, but at that point I realized that probably everybody had a vested interest in snuffing out this airheaded, big boobed, shopping addicted, waste of flesh and I honestly couldn't have cared less who actually attempted it as long as they were successful.I think from now on I will stick strictly to the 'Bubba' books.
