Much Ado in Maggody

Arly Hanks Series, Book 3

De: Joan Hess

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson

A hilarious police procedural set in the strangest town in the Ozarks, where whip-smart sheriff Arly Hanks does everything she can to keep the peace.

Nothing ever happens in Maggody, Arkansas, population 755. Aside from handling the occasional barroom brawl or exploding still, Chief of Police Arly Hanks spends her days sipping coffee and squashing flies. She returned to Maggody two years ago, licking her wounds after a bad Manhattan divorce, and she fell backward into the role of sheriff. From Hizzoner the Moron - also known as Jim Bob Buchanon, the pettily corrupt mayor - to Ruby Bee Hanks - Arly's mother and the town's foremost gossip - the people of Maggody are all crazy in their own ways, and that craziness is about to turn deadly.

When Joanna Mae Nookim returns to work after giving birth, the bank manager bumps her down to minimum wage as punishment for taking time off. It's outrageous, but there's nothing Arly can do. But when the bank burns to the ground and the head teller is found dead, Maggody threatens to burst into an all-out revolution for the sake of women's rights.

Entertaining!

This is a very entertaining series! The more I listen, the more I become attached to all these crazy characters. Also, you get to know them better after each episode, as one book kind of follows from the one before. Loosely, though, so you can still listen to the series out of order.

Yes, I will warn you, however, that there is an awful lot of profanity in these books so, if that offends you, no hard feelings at all, but I would recommend that maybe you not listen…☺️

Loved much to do in maggoty

hilariously funny as always. The characters are so fun to love. Love the series so far. look forward to continue reading.

much Ado in Maggody

This is an amazing book. It has enough funny stuff in it to make it good. Not to much just the right amount. Arly is trying to find who burnt the bank and killed someone. The people in the town makes the book great. Courtney Patterson does an excellent job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you

Funny

It is an unbelievable story of small town life. The characters are amazingly eccentric. I loved every minute of it.

foul language, over use of poor stereotypes.

fast forward to end to be able to leave poor review. says to leave more words to submit review. Do not recommend!

Just OK

This episode in the Maggody series is good, but not as entertaining as the first two books. The narrator does an excellent job, as always.
