Title: Wacky and raunchy!
Review: I must say, I really got more than a few chuckles reading this, the first installment in the Arly Hanks Ozark mystery series.After the failure of her marriage in New York, Arly moves back to Maggody, Arkansas her hometown she was always trying to escape and takes a job as the local sheriff. She gets very little, much-needed relaxation when a local EPA person who was about to release a report okaying the dumping of sewage in the town's favorite fishing hole, suddenly disappears. Believe me, it just gets crazier from there on. The town is populated with a ton of wacky locals who add charm and humor to the intriguing mystery. The ending is completely madcap and wonderfully entertaining. Not a book to read in public if you're embarrassed about laughing out loud!Somewhere between the realm of cozy and soft-boiled, this is the first in a series you shouldn't miss. Kudos to Joan Hess!
