Martians in Maggody - Joan Hess

This is a typical Joan Hess novel, and a pure romp from start to finish. She captures the local personalities to a tee, and has a wicked sense of humor when it comes to creating plots and outrageous situations. If you want a good laugh, Hess is one of the best. Her Maggody books always deliver.

Close encounters of the Maggody kind

Each of the Maggody mysteries by Joan Hess is a delight. In Martians in Maggody, an enterprising moonshiner bolsters the local economy by creating a tourist attraction in a corn field. This field of dreams (or nightmares, for the local police chief)becomes a murder scene. As always, Police Chief Arly Hanks is bothered more by her meddlesome mother and by the characters who populate the strange world of Maggody than by the Martians and the murderer who are only passing through.
