Joan Hess (born 1949) is an American mystery writer, the author of two popular mystery series: ''The Claire Malloy Mysteries'' and ''The Maggody Mysteries'' (also called ''The Arly Hanks Mysteries''). The Claire Malloy series is set in Farberville, Arkansas, and centers around Claire Malloy, who owns a small bookstore across from the campus of Farberville College. It has been suggested that Farberville is a stand-in for Fayetteville, Arkansas, with many landmarks, including the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, Dickson Street, and even well-known local citizens, thinly veiled in the prose. The Arly Hanks series is set in Maggody, Arkansas, population 755. The main character is Arly Hanks, Maggody's irreverent young female police chief. The first book of the Arly Hanks series, ''Malice in Maggody'', was the basis for the 1993 CBS television pilot ''Arly Hanks''.〔 〕 Hess has been nominated for the Agatha Award five times, and won once, for her 1990 short story "Too Much to Bare".〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Agatha Awards Past Winners )〕 A longtime resident of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Hess now lives in Austin, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joan Hess )〕 ==Bibliography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joan Hess」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
