What luck! - Sheriff Bo Tully is stranded at a winter resort. After a report that the owner of the resort is missing, Tully and his father, Pap, the former sheriff, go to investigate. On their way to the lodge, an avalanche almost kills them and blocks any exit from their future of free meals, hot tubs, and single-malt scotch. The visit doesn’t turn out to be quite the working vacation Tully had envisioned. Instead, the search is on for the owner with a strong hint of murder. The other trapped guests, including college boys and an old flame of Tully’s, are getting restless and are complicating matters. In Avalanche: A Sheriff Bo Tully Mystery by Patrick F. McManus, the Sheriff must find the guilty party before the road is cleared and the guests leave. This is a fun mystery with a good sense of humor and a complicated case to solve.
