Synopsis

When a Hollywood production company chooses Maggody as a backdrop for an X-rated Ozarks "Romeo and Juliet," the locals are starstruck. And as Maggody is flooded with washed-up actors, ruthless producers, and a cynical crew, the townsfolk will do anything for a close-up-even if it means resorting to murder. Chief of Police Arly Hanks has no time for Hollywood-she's got her hands full with a local arsonist-but when one of the actors is found dead in a bathtub, she's forced to intervene. As the film spins out of control, Arly realizes that the citizens of Maggody will stop at nothing to get their fifteen minutes of fame-even as the town burns down around them.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Corinne

This was just an ok book for me. As a resident of AR I did find it interesting to hear certain landmarks that I know, but beyond that it was just okay. I will not be continuing on with this series or picking up the first 4. This one is just not for me.......more

Goodreads review by Moira

Arly Hanks has to be one of the smartest, spunkiest heroines in the cozy mystery universe. Have read all the books, and it was fun to get back into the mad world of Maggody!......more

Goodreads review by Betsy

Fun!! A lot of characters to keep track of, though. Too many storylines all at once, but still, fun!!......more
