Publisher's summary

When small-town Police Chief Arly Hanks returns to Maggody, Arkansas, after vacation, she finds the population has risen to a booming 802. Among the newbies: Madame Celeste, the psychic who's holding locals in thrall with her predictions of doom; a handsome new high school guidance counselor; and a gaggle of mantra-chanting hippies who have turned the old general store into the source for cosmic harmony. Unfortunately, life in Maggody is anything but harmonious.

Robin Buchanon - a member of Maggody's most abundant family - has been murdered. The moonshiner, prostitute, and mother of four foul-mouthed little bad seeds was found shot to death in a booby-trapped marijuana field. Assuming the weed harvesters are sending a message to trespassers, Arly decides to hold vigil and set her own trap. But when another, seemingly unrelated, murder catches Arly off-guard, even Madame Celeste can't predict where this case is headed.

An Agatha Award finalist, Mischief in Maggody is just the kind of "bawdy, cheerful entertainment" that has brought countless fans to Joan Hess' quirky, long-running Arly Hanks series (Kirkus Reviews).

This is one of my favorites in this
series. With the author's gift for
writing and this narrator's gift for
bringing the work to sweet life..... it
does not often get much better. I
imagine reading vs listening to this-- it does not work.

Fun!

Fast paced, lively, cleverly written and, at times, quite hysterical. Great series with mighty fine narration. Many of these stories are still available on Audible Plus folks, so head on over there and check ‘em out!! ☺️
