Another "great" cozy mystery set in outrageous Maggody, Arkansas, a town so strange that even Hollywood filmmakers can't believe it's real (Library Journal).

From the Kwik-Stoppe-Shoppe to the Pot O' Gold Mobile Home Park, there isn't much glamour in Maggody...but this flyspeck Arkansas town is about to become famous. When a Hollywood production company chooses Maggody as a backdrop for an X-rated Ozarks Romeo and Juliet, the locals are starstruck. And as Maggody is flooded with washed-up actors, ruthless producers, and a cynical crew, the townsfolk will do anything for a close-up - even if it means resorting to murder.

Chief of Police Arly Hanks has no time for Hollywood - she's got her hands full with a local arsonist - but when one of the actors is found dead in a bathtub, she's forced to intervene. As the film spins out of control, Arly realizes that the citizens of Maggody will stop at nothing to get their fifteen minutes of fame-even as the town burns down around them.

In the spirit of David Mamet's State and Main, this delightful novel shows that when Hollywood collides with small-town values, the movie industry doesn't stand a chance.

This is my favorite “Cozy” mystery series, and Courtney Patterson’s reading brings even more to the story.
Can we please have her read the rest of the books??

Always funny, always enjoyable

In this installment of the Arly Hanks Mystery series, Murder and Mayhem abound in our little town of Maggody where “nothing ever happens” (ha!). Hilarious shenanigans prevail in the midst of the very serious business of murder, attempted murder, and arson.

All the trouble begins when a (somewhat questionable) Hollywood movie production crew come to the town in question and move into Ruby Bee’s Flamingo Hotel. All manner of mayhem ensues not only from the production crew, but many of our beloved (!) town residents as well: people get lost, people go missing, people go crazy, and some even get murdered. What a wild ride, and only from the very unusual but very funny, whacky, and creative mind of author Joan Hess.

More Crazy Fun!
