Mace Bauer knows that she should be patient and helpful to
her Mama, but when the old gal is determined to walk down
the aisle again -- for the Fifth Time, well, the mother-
daughter relationship tends to get a little strained. And
when the caterer for this Gone With The Wind-themed
shindig is found murdered in the kitchen of the Himmarshee,
Florida VFW Hall and Mama turns a little bit Bridezilla, --
let's just say there is never a dull moment when Mama is
around!
With Deborah Sharp's novel, MAMA GETS HITCHED, the third
book in her Mace Bauer Mystery series, readers should be
prepared for a wild, hilariously funny adventure as Mace,
her sisters and her charmingly eccentric Mama once again
find themselves up to their elbows in mystery, murder and
mayhem.
Despite her boyfriend Detective Carlos Martinez's warning
not to get involved in the murder investigation, Mace can't
just sit by and not do a little sleuthing on the side. And
the cast of suspects is as long as Mama's wedding guest list
-- including the Jersey wedding planner with an attitude,
the slick Mafia connected nephew, and even
the caterer's long-suffering wife. The possibilities are
mind-boggling, but Mace does what she does best as she
tries to figure out who is determined to ruin Mama's
Special Day!
Filled with a delightfully off-beat Southern charm, MAMA
GETS HITCHED is fast-paced, full of suspense, and funny to
boot! Sharp captures the hysterically irreverent
eccentricity of those who inhabit the lands below the Mason-
Dixon line with such detail that if you are from the South,
you'd swear she'd attended one or two of your family
reunions. And as far as mother-daughter stories go, this is
one series that will please any generation of mystery
lovers in your family -- Sharp covers all the bases from
young to old.
According to Mama, a Gone with the Wind-themed wedding—
including a ring-bearing Pomeranian—is just fine for her
fifth trip down the aisle. But what's a bridezilla to do
when the caterer is murdered?
Thanks to the nonstop gossip
train in their small Florida town, Mama's gator-wrestling
daughter Mace is getting the dirt on who did it. Prime
suspects are two East Coast Yankees: the bridegroom's
cousin C'ndee who's sorely lacking in Southern charm and
her gorgeous nephew Christopher whose family may be linked
to the Mafia.
I'm thrilled to get such a nice review of ''Mama Gets Hitched'' from Fresh Fiction. I'm a faithful reader of Sharon's Cozy Corner, and have heard from many readers who discovered my funny Mace Bauer Mystery series on your wonderful site.
