Bubba Done It by Maggie Toussaint
307 Pages


"Amateur sleuth and dreamwalker Baxley Powell is called in on a stabbing case. She arrives in time to hear the dying man whisper, "Bubba done it." Four men named Bubba in Sinclair County, Georgia, have close ties to the victim, including her goofball brother-in-law, Bubba Powell. She dreamwalks for answers, but the victim can't talk to her, leaving Baxley to sleuth among the living. The suspects include a down-on-his-luck fisherman, a crack-head evangelist, a politically- connected investor, and her brother-in-law, the former sweetheart of the victim's ex-wife. The more Baxley digs, the more the Bubbas start to unravel. Worse, her brother-in-law's definitely more than friendly with the victim's ex-wife. Between pet-sitting, landscaping, and dreamwalking, Baxley's got her hands full solving this case."

I originally had high hopes for this series but the characters have already become dull and hackneyed in the sophomore effort by Toussaint.  The humor is flat and the mystery not very compelling.  Not recommended.
