Book Description:
MOUNTAIN MOONSHINE, MONKEY BUSINESS--AND MURDER!
The phone lines were buzzing all the way from Ruby Bee's Bar and Grill to the Flamingo Motel when four hippies, two bachelors, and a psychic moved into Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755). Chief of Police Arly Hanks was not amused. She had taken the chief's job after her big-city marriage went on the rocks. She needed to be in a quiet place like Maggody where nothing exciting ever happened. Especially murder. But hard cussin', hard drinkin' Robin Buchanon, local moonshiner and lady-of-love, just turned up deader than a skunk flattened by a big rig. What she left behind was a cabin full of kids, a booby-trapped patch of marijuana, and a town waiting for the next body to drop.

Patricia S. wrote on 12/19/2006...The best "Maggody" book in the series
Arly Hanks is the Chief of Police in Maggoty Arkansas, a job she took after her divorce in NY. She has just come back from a vacation of several months hoping to find everything peaceful and quiet. Then the local lady moonshiner and lady of love turns up dead, killed in a booby trap in a marijuana patch. Everyone knows the marijuana patch isn't hers. In fact someone has dug up her ginseng patch and planted the marijuana and then set booby traps. Arly is determined to catch who ever did it. Robin the woman murdered has left behnd five children. Five children who have been living like animals and now homes have to be found for them. And of course there is Ruby Dee and her friend always insisting on getting mixed up in things. Ruby Dee is Arly's mother and owns the local diner and motel. A psychic has moved into town and they insist Arly should get her to help with the investigation. The psychic has seen the vision of a dead woman's face but she doesn't know who's The story moves right along and interspersed in the serious stuff is some comedy to lighten the tone a bit. Poor Arly has a lot to contend with in her job as Chief of Police. A murder, five wild children, an illegal pot patch and interfering relatives. Lots of odd and quirky characters wander in and out of the story. I really enjoyed the book.
Very funny and well written. Loved it!
