One of the latest in Joan Hess' great series of funny stories about Maggody, Arkansas, and its amusing chief of police, Arly Hanks. In this one, a documentary film is being made about a Civil War skirmish that took place at Cotter's Ridge. A rich cast of quirky characters make for a very entertaining read.
Another adventure in Hess' Arly Hanks mystery series. The little community of Maggody is hosting a Civil War re-enactment---more or less on the spur of the moment. This special event gets all tangled up with a treasure hunt for lost Confederate gold, family disagreements, various area residents periodically disappearing (usually in the vicinity of Raz Buchannon's oft-denied still) and mayhem by persons unknown. Chief of Police, Arly Hanks, has her work cut out for her once more.
You can't help but love this books! So funny and a good plot that keeps me guessing until the end almost every time.
Love this backwoods humor. Always a funny twist in each book of this series.
Joan Hess' Maggody series is the funniest laugh-your-butt-off series I've ever read - right next to the Dortmumder series by Westlake! Be prepared to have a good time!
