Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.

 

This is a really fun meme!

The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

My 56

In my day-glo orange T-shirt, ponytail, and faded jeans, I wasn’t dressed for success. I plucked a few stray dog hairs off my shirt. There wasn’t anything I could do about the dried dog drool.

And I reversed the numbers and snatched one from page 65.

“I was down at the jail this mornin’, and they wouldn’t tell me a thing.  I ax you this, what am I going to do without my Bubba?”

I wanted to share a couple of characters and the southern flavor of this fun book.

Synopsis

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.

  1. I am not surprised at the wealth of “Bubbas” in those parts…that made me smile. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.

  2. yvonne473 says:

    This sounds like my kind of book.

  3. Love the title. This series is new to me but the snippets are appealing. I hope you’re enjoying the book.

  4. Elizabeth says:

    It seems like this would be a funny book, but I don’t know if I could handle the vernacular.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      It’s a lot of fun and the vernacular isn’t overwhelming. Just adds some flavoe from a few characters:)

  5. Breana M. says:

    This seems like a fun book, thanks for sharing! 🙂

  6. This sounds like a fun read–thanks for sharing it and for visiting my blog.

  7. I can see how this narrative can be amusing with language such as ” I ax you this. . .” Also, I couldn’t help but think of Bubba from Forest Gump! Remember him!? 😀

    • fuonlyknew says:

      Bubba Gump Shrimp! You bet I remember!
      And I actually say ax instead of ask sometimes. Hard not to pick that up. LOL

  8. LOL! Gross! Dried dog drool? Funny quote! Check out my Friday 56!

  9. That 56 is funny and I can see why you shared the 65 as well! Sounds like a fun book!

  11. Doggy hair is a necessary evil if you happen to own a dog. This sounds like a fun mystery!

  12. Great pick I haven’t really read a book from the southern side of the states before and this one looks and sounds really intriguing!

  13. fredamans says:

    Sounds fun, the 56 made me giggle.
    Happy Easter weekend!

  14. Lauren says:

    I can totally understand the dog hairs – they get everywhere. Sounds like an interesting read.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I keep spare sheets to cover the comforter on my bed so it doesn’t become imbedded in it. And the hairs are why I make my bed right after I roll out of it. LOL

  15. Sounds like a good read! 🙂

  16. Andrea says:

    I’ve not been into mysteries as much as I used to be, but those little snippets and the synopsis has me wanting to know what happens and who is the killer. Nice F56 Old Follower.

  17. Anne says:

    Bubba is a name we always use when we are making fun of rednecks. Is the Bubba in this book that kind of guy? Thanks for visiting my blog.

  18. Lauren says:

    I’ve never heard of this but it sounds great! Thanks for visiting my blog.

  19. The title alone caught my attention. LOL
