i felt confused of some of the contestants

I FELT CONFUSED OF SOME OF THE CONTESTANT AND WHY THEY CALL IT CO-CO NUT

Humorous transplantation of Maggody, AR folks to Manhattan.

Joan Hess is a delightful writer. She has defined the small southern town of Maggody and it's eccentric residents in a series of books about Arly Hanks, the sheriff, and Clara,her mother. In this, Clara has won a baking contest and travels to New York with her best friend to accept her prize. Needless to say, things are not what they should be. Dead bodies appear and Arly has to leave Maggody to save the day. The assorted Buchanons in the book are hilarious and make this novel well worth reading.
