From the rear cover
"Amusing, slap-happy and wise."--"Publishers Weekly"
Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755) is perceived as a two-bit hick town, filled with one-bit hicks. But the mayor's wife, Mrs. Jim Bob Buchanon, seeks to change that perception with her latest scheme: a charity golf tournament! Which presents a bit of a challenge, since no one in Maggody plays golf and there is no course. But when the prize for the first hole-in-one is announced--a top-of-the-line bass boat--suddenly Maggody goes golf crazy with limited success and maximum domestic disorder.
"HUMOROUS A MYSTERY THAT KEEPS UP GUESSING, BUT WITHOUT DISTRACTING US FROM THE GOLF AND THE FUN."--"BOOKLIST"
Besides the townspeople, there are several outside figures who actually know how to play the game. Among them: The low-level PGA player Bonaparte Buchanon and Tommy Ridner, an instructor from a nearby country club. As for Sheriff Arly Hanks? She has more important things to worry about on, and off, the job--and just wishes all this golf business would go away.
"SPEND AN AFTERNOON IN MAGGODY AND YOU'LL BE RICHER FOR IT."--"ST. LOUIS"" POST-DISPATCH"
When Tommy Ridner beats the odds and sinks the first hole-in-one, it looks like what's done is done...until he's found in his bass boat--dead. Now Arly Hanks is facing a complicated murder investigation for which darned near everyone in town is a suspect."
