Madness in Maggody

Arly Hanks, Book 4

De: Joan Hess

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson

In a town as peculiar as Maggody, Arkansas, it doesn't take much to tip the community into chaos. When Mayor Jim Bob Buchanon's SuperSaver Buy 4 Less takes out a full-page ad boasting the new supermarket's authentic tamales, gourmet deli counter, and various other bells and whistles, every restaurateur in town fears that Jim Bob is going to put him out of business. So when it comes time for the Buy 4 Less' gala opening, one citizen decides to play dirty, slipping something into Jim Bob's famous tamale sauce that leaves 23 unsuspecting attendees sick with food poisoning - and one dead.

Was this a prank that got out of hand, or is there a maniac on the loose in Maggody? Finding out the truth will mean digging into the dangerous underbelly of Maggody's cutthroat restaurant community, and quick-witted police chief Arly Hanks is the only woman for the job.

Joan Hess is one of the funniest mystery writers in the business, and this outlandish look into the greedy schemes of small-town business owners shows her at the top of her form. Cozy mystery fans know that once you visit Maggody, you'll never want to leave.

Great Narration!!

Another hilarious installment in this so very entertaining series. The tiny town of Maggody where “nothing ever happens” sure does have an awful lot of strange goings on. As of she doesn’t already have enough to worry about, Police 👮 Chief Arly Hanks has the additional headache of trying to keep on top of all of her mother’s crazy shenanigans. Great series!!
