Book Reviews of Avalanche: A Sheriff Bo Tully Mystery (Sheriff Bo Tully Mysteries)
Book Review: Reasonably fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second book in a new series featuring a sheriff in the great north, somewhere called Blight County. The main character, Sheriff Bo Tully, travels to visit a ski lodge in search of the husband of the owner, who's been reported missing. When he gets there (with his father, a retired sheriff himself) he's almost killed by an avalanche, which also cuts the ski lodge off from outside contact.
Apparently the author has a reputation as a humorist in outdoors circles, writing for various magazines. This book has a lot of snappy dialog, though some of it seems forced and a bit unrealistic. The mystery part of it is reasonably well-handled, and comes off pretty suspenseful also. I enjoyed the whole thing reasonably well, and would be interested in future entries in the series.
