About book Bubba And The Dead Woman (2000)

I feel a little guilty giving this book just two stars because I think it is well written, the mystery is good, and many people may really like it.I wanted to like it. I really enjoyed a Veiled Eyes book by the same author and I typically love anything country/folksy, which this book epitomizes.But that was the problem for me. It was so full of folksy colloquialisms I believe 50% of the book could have been edited out. It felt over the top. A character's "folksy" thought would be established in one sentence, followed by two more sentences that just used more folksy words to repeat what was already established. I kept thinking they're folksy, I get it, what's happening next?However, I've seen other reviewers quote some of the very passages that I would have quoted as examples of overly wordy, but they quoted them as examples of how hilarious and enjoyable the book was.I still may take a run at another Bubba book in the future. I have heard the first one introduces a lot of characters and the pace picks up in other books in the series. When I first purchased this for my Nook, I was looking for a light, easy read. The price was definitely right at $.99. I was in for a surprise, because I instantly became interested in Bubba and his situation. The story was light, fun, and kept me guessing as to the murderer. The main reason that I gave this three stars instead of four was for the East Texas dialect. It was a little hard to read sometimes. I have lived my whole life in North Central Texas and never encountered the type of dialect used in the book. To sum up, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light, easy read with interesting characters.
