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.
