Críticas

"Kirkus Reviews" The denizens of Maggody are a lively lot. The author's tone of wry affection and lightly detached wonder at their foibles is just right. Bawdy, cheerful entertainment.

"Publishers Weekly" Guaranteed laugh-out-loud entertainment.

"Library Journal" Hess successfully combines murder and mayhem with the most bizarre goings-on east of the Rockies.

"St. Louis Post-Dispatch" At last! A hilariously funny mystery that touches all the bases and leaves you yelling for more. Hess has found real gold in the tawdry little town of Maggody. I can hardly wait for the next trip there.

"Boston Magazine" A rollicking tour de force....Hess hones hilarity with a finer eye and keener wit than anyone.

"The New York Times" Hilarious....A delectable dish.

Sharyn McCrumb Joan Hess is the patron saint of comic mystery.

Barbara Michaels Joan Hess is one of the few mystery writers whose books I devour as I do chocolate. I love Maggody and everybody in it.

Reseña del editor

Delectable and continually surprising (The New York Times Boos Review), Joan Hess's one-of-a-kind mystery series digs up murder and mayhem in the sleepy little town of Maggody, Arkansas. When beleaguered chief of police Arly Hanks hears that her mother, Ruby Bee, and best friend, Estelle Oppers, are headed for Memphis on an Elvis Pilgrimage, she thinks she may be getting a long-overdue break. But before she can say "Thank you, thank you very much", the trip is completely stalled by a variety of deadly doings. Estelle calls home to report that Ruby Bee has collapsed and is in the local hospital. And even before Arly's seen the delta dawn, one of the other clients on the tour takes a fatal plunge from the hotel balcony - which adjoins the room of a prominent Maggody citizen, who's now doing the Jailhouse Rock in the local pen. What's more, Estelle's all shook up that the tour van is being followed by ominous thugs. For Arly, it's now or never, because if her suspicious mind doesn't figure out what to do quickly, residents of Maggody may be returned to sender - in a hearse.
