Murder mystery in rural Idaho (kinda sexist and formulaic)

So far this series have been rather fun and a little quirky cozy mystery. More on the quirky side rather than cozy for me but enjoyable. Easy to read when I'm not feeling for something that heavy

As always, Patrick McManus made me smile. This is his version of a mystery: set in the wilds of Idaho, lovable/laughable characters, and a twisted sense of humor. This is a very easy read and perfect for a cold winter night.

Wow, everyone in Idaho wants to have sex with everyone in Idaho. Yeesh. Just write the mystery story.

The second book in the series is full of twists and turns. Sheriff is stuck at a lodge and must figure out a murder. Classic writing

This is the second Bo Tully story I have read and it's even more enjoyable than the first. The interplay between the characters, Bo father and ex-sheriff who made a fortune as a corrupt sheriff, Lurch, his CSI, Daisy, the secretary, and Herb, the under-sheriff, is charming and humorous.
Bo is called to a resort in the mountains to investigate the disappearance of the co-owner. On the way they are barely missed by an avalanche which we soon learn was deliberately aimed at his vehicle. No more spoilers. The series is a lot of fun and I intend to read all of them. Reminiscent of the delightful "liturgical" mysteries by Mark Schweizer that are often laugh-out-loud funny.
