Fun, Not predictable...Mountain Folk with murder all mixed up.
This is the first in the Maggody series. Arly Hanks has returned home and taken the job of sheriff in her small hometown of Maggody, Arkansas. This book has amazing rural small-town humor, where finding your clues is often more about overhearing the right gossip rather than forensic evidence. Hilarity ensues when a government representative goes missing before a scheduled meeting over the local river and the concerns over pollution, and amongst the chaos a young woman ends up dead. Arly has her first murder to investigate, and a whole town up in arms. A fun read!
Small town, southern charmer. The Maggody series is a pleasant, easy, fun read. Joan Hess uses her sense of humor to bring this small town of life.
