Publisher's summary

Country music, greed, and the unique madness of Maggody, Arkansas, collide in this delightful cozy mystery starring unflappable police chief Arly Hanks.

Matt Montana is the favorite son of sleepy Maggody, Arkansas. With the voice of an angel and a smile as charming as that of the devil, he's made a name for himself under the bright lights of Nashville and become one of the most famous faces in country music. Meanwhile, Maggody has sunk into the worst recession in years. So when Matt announces that he's returning home to play a benefit concert, the locals do everything they can to cash in on Montana fever. The oddballs of Maggody smell a payday, and not even murder can stop them from cashing in.

As every shop in town stocks up on Matt Montana memorabilia, police chief Arly Hanks-the only sane woman in town-tries to keep her head down. But when one of Matt's entourage turns up dead in a store window, it's up to Arly to make sure this isn't country music's last act.

The Arly Hanks Mysteries have skewered topics from Hollywood filmmakers to right-wing militias to the greedy schemes of televangelists, and this take on country music superstars shows the town of Maggody at its best.

More Crazy From Our Beloved Town of Maggody!

Another visit to our beloved crazies of Maggody, AK! Come for the mystery, stay for the nutty, colorful, and outrageous shenanigans! After the first couple of books (read in order) I’ve become rather “hooked” on this group, and find myself listening to them one right after the other. I recommend the entire series, and also highly urge the listener to listen in the proper order. Not necessary, but helps to keep track of what’s going on…☺️. Check them out, all are mostly still available on Audible Plus!
