Review: Bubba Done It by Maggie Toussaint

Goodreads Blurb

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, Ga., have close ties to the victim, including her goofball brother-in-law, Bubba Powell.

She dreamwalks for answers, but the dead guy can’t talk to her. Baxley sleuths among the living. The suspects include a down-on-his-luck fisherman, a crackhead evangelist, a politically-connected investor, and her brother-in-law, the former sweetheart of the new widow.

The more Baxley digs, the more the Bubbas start to unravel. Worse, her brother-in-law’s definitely more than friendly with the new widow.

Between petsitting, landscaping, and dreamwalking, Baxley’s got her hands full solving this case.

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This book was invigorating. Couldn’t put the book down from the very beginning. This book was well written, with a great plot and mystery. As I read, I kept on trying to figure out all the possibilities of who killed Morgan and what exactly happened to June? What kept this story going was that every single Bubba that were suspects all had dealings with Morgan, and they all wanted him dead. Morgan was a wealthy man who didn’t think of anyone’s feelings but himself. I loved that Baxley is an independent woman who can go to the spirit world and be able to see what had occurred at a death scene. She was able to solve the case on her own even though she was warned to stay away from the case. I was very shocked to have known that Morgan’s brother was his killer. He definitely was filled with sorrow, pain, and anger to have killed him. I’m hoping to read another book with Baxley. Great read you don’t want to miss it.
