This book moves fast. It's only 200 pages, but it was my workbag book so didn't always have time to read. When I did, though....
It sort of felt like reading a cozy/amateur sleuth, with the humor and not overly violent actions, but mostly the humor. But the main character is the county sheriff, so definitely not cozy/amateur sleuth.
I like the main character, Sheriff Dan Rhodes, for all that this is the first book in this series I've read. He has to put up with quite a lot with his staff and the folks that live in his county. His wife has him eating more healthfully than he'd like but he loves her and he likes that his pants are fitting better.
He goes about the investigation that starts out as disturbing the peace with someone chaining themselves in protest to the doors of the local WalMart and there's the emu rustling and it all meanders into murder. Plenty of suspects and Sheriff Rhodes looks into everyone in a rather haphazardly logical manner.
I will be looking for more from this series and this author. I can definitely recommend this book.
