AVALANCHE by Patrick F. McManus

[fadedrose]

This is the 2nd book by this author, the first was THE BLIGHT WAY, which I read last week.

It's not great literature, but nicely written, lots of subtle humor, about Sheriff Bo Tully in Idaho. I recommend both books, and a new one is coming out in a couple of months.

I like this type of book and would like suggestions on detective/police stories that have some humor in them. THanks in advance...

1. Pat McManus must have at least twenty books out by now.

He's a local hero here in North Idaho and Eastern Washington

2. He's only written two mysteries that I can see...

The others are different and I don't think my library has any of them. The third is due maybe in October...

I like him really well...

I get so worked up over the health care bill I need to get away from suspense and serial killers - I like light hearted detectives like Tully.

4. Oops...

You are correct sir - he has branched into mystery writing. None the less, his other books are filled with truly wonderful work.

6. mystery novels by Patrick McManus? OH BOY. I love his short stories

'The Grasshopper Trap' and 'They Shoot Canoes, Don't They? are hysterical.

3. get the interlibrary loan program working for you then

or you'll never understand the modified stationary panic and it's proper application in certain crisis situations.

5. I don't know what you said, but thank you anyway...

will try the interlibrary thing - that much I got.. ;)

7. I've always loved his humor writing

I've got almost all of his collections of humor stories, but I haven't read either of his novels. I'm glad that you've enjoyed them, though, and hopefully I'll get a chance to one of these days :hi:
