review 1: I think it is time for Bubba and me to take a break. The first book was in desperate need of an editor, but the story was good enough to get me to read the second. Then, about halfway through the second one, I noticed a turn for the better with grammar and had hope for the series. It is really funny even though a bit on the corny side. That convinced me to go on with the series--that and the fact that I know some people who love the series, and I like to know what they are talking about when discussing Bubba. Number three has the same humor, though not so much. This book is mostly boring with repetition and long summaries of the previous two books. There isn't really much of a mystery, and the characters are beginning to grate on my nerves. Perhaps reading three Bubba book... mores back-to-back is the wrong approach with this series, so I'm moving on to something else before considering number four. Maybe I will come back to Bubba one day, but for now the series is on indefinite hiatus.
review 2: Just when Bubba is getting to know Deputy Willodean, she disappears. They find her car wrecked and she is missing. A tow truck is reported stolen and Bubba and Sheriff John suspect that is what was used to cause the wreck. The Sheriff tells him that Willodean had a stalker - the reason she left the Dallas police department. The man has been sending her letters. The Sheriff also calls her family and they arrive at her apartment. And are there when Bubba goes to get a piece of clothing for the tracking dogs. It turns out Willodean's mother and sisters are all in the police force. And her 8 year-old niece thinks she is, too. The only one not on the force is her father. Bubba runs into some trouble when he gets to the apartment because they think he might have had something to do with her disappearance. He goes to pick up the troubled "psychoologist" whi is now dressed all in purple and calls himself the Purple Singapore Sling, a super hero. But he does have a good understanding of people, even if he's not really a psychiatrist. He gives Bubba important hints about people and he and Bubba run around trying to find out about the stalker and what really happened. They fall foul of the Dallas police and have to leave Dallas in a hurry. Bubba has to figure out WHY Willodean was kidnapped and why Nancy had him on her visitors list in prison - and why she was surprised when he told her his mother was fine.....slowly it starts to add up - to Bubba and the Singapore Sling if no one else. less

The three books about Bubba and his surprsing mother in their Texas town are a fun fast light read.

Even with Willodean missing and Bubba dispairing it was a very enjoyable read with plenty of humor.
