Trying way, way too hard to make the characters quirky or charming.

Maybe this is a series that you needed to read from the beginning instead of jumping in at #11, but I just couldn't get into it. I probably gave it 50 pages, but now I'm done.

This series is just fun. There are all sorts of characters getting into silly situations. And, then, there is Arly Hanks, who has come back to her hometown to be the police chief, and entire department. People say that nothing really happens in Maggody, but when things do happen, Arly is going to be in the midst of it. Mostly, she's trying to maintain her sanity while surrounded by madcap adventures.

These books are light reading, with laugh out loud scenes. What surprised me is that the actual mystery is not so obvious and frequently has complex layers that Arly has to work through.

Convoluted plot with generally unpleasant, unlikable characters. Written and set in the late 90's and did not age well.
