    About this audiobook

    When when Arly’s mother, the indomitable Ruby Bee Hanks, is invited to a baking contest in New York, Arly is forced to return to the city she hates — and the Big Apple is even more rotten than she remembered. Ruby Bee has hardly preheated her oven when a naked man is found shot in her bedroom and the NYPD throws her in jail.

    As tempting as it may be to let her mother rot on Rikers Island, Arly has no choice but to solve the case herself, facing down killers, bakers, and the most dangerous villain of all: her ex-husband.

    • 3/5
      When Ruby Bee, Arly's famous cook of a mother, wins a chance to compete in a cooking contest in New York City, she and her best friend Estelle depart in high spirits, but quickly run into trouble when a naked man is found in Ruby Bee's bed. Arly Hanks, eager to escape the first meeting of Barbara Jean Buchanon's Christians aginst Whiskey committee, hurries to Manhattan to rescue them, but Arly has an easier time finding a solution to the mystery than controlling her two amateur assistants or in solving the mysterious disappearance of Dahlia and Kevin Buchanon on the honeymoon. This started slower than most of the Maggody books, but the usual hilarious situations and characters make it fun.
    • 5/5
      My first book from this author but will not be my last.
      It was a laugh each chapter. I needed those laughs!
