Meet Mama: a true Southern woman with impeccable manners, sherbet-colored pantsuits, and four prior husbands, able to serve sweet tea and sidestep alligator attacks with equal aplomb. Mama's antics — especially her penchant for finding trouble — drive her daughters Mace, Maddie, and Marty to distraction. One night, while settling in to look for ex-beaus on COPS, Mace gets a frantic call from her mother. This time, the trouble is real: Mama found a body in the trunk of her turquoise convertible and the police think she's the killer. It doesn't help that the handsome detective assigned to the case seems determined to prove Mama's guilt or that the cowboy who broke Mace's heart shows up at the local Booze ‘n' Breeze in the midst of the investigation. Before their mama lands in prison — just like an embarrassing lyric from a country-western song — Mace and her sisters must find the real culprit.

Update for second read: Holds up to my first review perfectly; 7 years later and I still can't keep Maddie and Marty straight in my head. Still a very good read. ------------------------------------- I put off reading this book for a long time because it just had way too redneck-y a vibe for me ...

4.0 Mama Does Time (A Mace Bauer Mystery #1)
I put off reading this book for a long time because it just had way too redneck-y a vibe for me to think I'd find it enjoyable. But then I read about the author being a native Floridian (as I am) and I thought, well, I should give this a go, she should be able to do "old Florida" justice with out tu...

3.0 Mama Does Time (A Mace Bauer Mystery)
This is a book that sets out right from the start to amuse and entertain, with no pretensions beyond that, and there's abosolutely nothing wrong with that. I've never been to Florida, so I've no idea whether the small town lifestyle portrayed here is accurate, exaggerated or a parody, but it made me...

OMG..I can't believe how "light" this book was. It gives new meaning to cozy. I had a really, really hard time with this book holding my interest as there were numerous times that it came off as "silly". If I didn't need it for a challenge, I probably would have shelved it.
