Summary: Oh dear
Review: *Dead in the Mud* is the fifth book in the Amanda Hazard mystery series by Connie Feddersen. By now, most readers have heard Hazard complain more than once about the lack of attention Commissioner Brown has paid to the county roads. It looks like Hazard's not the only Vamoosian angry with Brown.One rainy morning, Hazard, after getting both of her vehicles stuck in the muddy roads, discovers Brown also stuck, but this time, he's dead. It's only logical that Brown has been murdered, as Hazard has the nose for murder mysteries. While Amanda is working on finding the killer (her fiance and police chief Nick Thorn believes the death accidental), she's also busy planning a wedding shower, fending off the advances of acting Commissioner Sam Harjo and getting used to Bruno, Brown's former border collie that's now adopted Hazard for himself. *Dead in the Mud* is another satisfying offering from Feddersen. I can't wait to read *Dead in the Driver's Seat* next!

Summary: Oh dear
Review: I picked up this bood at a used book stare for about a nickel, and I spent too much. I laughed out loud many times as I was reading, but not at the authors witticisms... I fear I was laughing instead at her poor writing! How many times per chapter can one man be referred to as a young Clint Eastwood, or one truck as a gas-guzzler?? It seems that Ms. Feddersen thinks up one way to describe something and then just drives her point into the ever prevelent mud. The writing throughout feels stitled and contrived. The plot and characters are adequate... but only if one can get past the fact that Ms. Feddersen would have done well with a ghost writer to deliver her clever ideas in a more palatable form.

Summary: ENJOYABLY DIFFERENT
Review: This issue of amanda hazard is completely different from all previous ones. Amanda has a more ineresting plot to follow and is a more belivable character. The ending is unlike any other I have read by this author or any other author for that matter. I trully recommend this book and this series to everyone.
