Sheriff Dan Rhodes

review 1: I've been reading the Sheriff Dan Rhodes mysteries for many years, and this one, number 20 in the series, is as enjoyable a read as all the others. I whiz through the books and find I am sorry when each episode has come to an end. I have read where other readers compare this series favorably to the Walt Longmire series, and I could do so, too, although Rhodes is a man with a lighter heart than Longmire, and truly, were he a real person, I'd pick him over Longmire as someone I'd like to call a friend. I highly recommend this, and the whole series to fans of contemporary cozy mysteries.
review 2: I'm a late adapter to the prolific Bill Crider's writing. My first impression of this novel was skepticism; it is SO TEXAS. It's also very funny in a dry, slightly repet... moreitious way. But it's a mystery that includes the best characteristics of the genre: an off-stage murder that defies easy resolution, a cast of well-developed main characters--Sheriff Dan Rhodes and his wife, Ivy--and useful secondary characters, like the sarcastic and controlling dispatcher whom I would have fired or shot years ago. I was disappointed to find no more of his books at my library. less
