"With a strong, funny heroine, colorful characters, and a look at a part of Florida the tourists rarely see, Deborah Sharp has an engaging new series. Make sure Mama Does Time does time on your bookshelf."

-- Elaine Viets, author of Clubbed to Death: a Dead-End Job Mystery

"Who knew that a who-dun-it would not only keep you guessing—but have you laughing!  Deborah Sharp is the new Edna Buchanan."

—Hoda Kotb, NBC "Today" show co-anchor

"Not since the late Anne George has there been such laugh-out-loud Southern fried fun. Deborah Sharp's Mama Does Time is a hilarious page turner with crisp and intelligent writing."

--Sue Ann Jaffarian, author of the Odelia Grey Mystery series

"Deborah Sharp is the freshest, funniest voice to come along since, well, since I can't remember when. She's wise, she's wily and, what matters most -- she knows the hearts of people. Mama Does Time has it all -- murder, mystery and a brand new take on Florida's particular version of mayhem. Mama, aka Rosalee Deveraux, is an absolute hoot. And Mace Bauer, her middle daughter and the savvy, surefooted heroine of this romp of a book, is a most welcome addition to the ranks of detective fiction."

—Bob Morris, fourth-generation Floridian and Edgar-nominated author of the Zack Chasteen mystery novels

"Deborah Sharp's witty way with words makes Mama Does Time as much fun as a down-home visit with your quirky Florida cousins.''

--Nancy Martin, author of the Blackbird Sisters Mysteries
