From Booklist
The prolific Hess, author of 15 Claire Malloy mysteries, now delivers the fifteenth in her Arly Hanks series. Although both series are set in small-town Arkansas, the protagonists are very different women--Claire is a lovable bumbler whereas Arly delights readers with her brains and smart mouth. In this adventure, Arly returns from a camping trip to find the tiny town of Maggody (population 755) abuzz. The local home for the elderly has been sold to an unknown buyer, who kicks out the residents and transforms the space into the mysterious Stonebridge Foundation. When the Stonebridge receptionist is found drowned, the activities surrounding the place take on a sinister air. Throughout it all, Arly struggles to keep her aplomb, especially when some Maggody citizens start to look a little suspicious. Her mother, Ruby Bee, and Ruby's best friend, Estelle, add a generous dash of humor to the proceedings, as do other zany characters of the tiny town. Good, clean fun that will please fans of Hess' madcap mix of comedy and mystery. Jenny McLarin
