About

When the uproarious town of Maggody, Arkansas, plugs into the Internet, the digital age turns deadly. Aside from the odd stolen dog or vandalized lawn ornament, there's been no recent crime in Maggody, Arkansas, population 755, and that's how Chief of Police Arly Hanks likes it. Things have been so quiet she's taken to sitting in on school-board meetings, and she's doing just this when the high school announces the new computer lab, which will be open to everybody in town. To Arly-who doesn't trust her neighbors to handle a toaster, much less a computer-it seems like an invitation to disaster. Little does she know that when Maggody logs on, the results will be murderous.   As soon as the first modem is plugged in, Maggody's computers are flooded with hackers, pornography, libel, and worse. And when a newcomer is brutally murdered, Arly must use low-tech resourcefulness to catch a digital killer-and save Maggody from the information age.   Fans of Ellen Byron's Cajun Country mysteries will find themselves right at home in Maggody, where everyone knows everyone-and everyone is related. This is unquestionably one of the funniest mystery series of all time.  Murder@maggody.com is the 12th book in the Arly Hanks Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
