In Patrick F. McManus's comic mystery, a person who turns up missing during an avalanche turns up murdered--and everyone is a suspect.

When the call comes in that Mike Wilson, the unlikable owner of West Branch Lodge, has gone missing, Sheriff Tully is delighted. This is an excellent opportunity for Tully, his tracker pal Dave, and his retired sheriff father, Pap, to enjoy a few evenings of hot tubs and single-malt scotch at the luxurious lodge while working the case. However, visions of R & R vanish in a flash on the drive up, when Tully and Pap suddenly realize an avalanche is thundering down the mountain, straight toward them.

Tully manages to outrun the crush of snow, but the road behind is blocked, and there's no telling for how long. Tully's stranded at the lodge with a motley group of vacationers and locals: a sassy co-ed, a group of rambunctious fraternity boys, a shadowy group of what looks like ex-cons, the missing owner's wife, a suspiciously good-looking bartender, and worst (or perhaps best) of all, Tully's old flame, who shows up with her dogsled and naughty intentions.

Both vacationers and locals start to look like suspects when Tully discovers startling evidence proving that the avalanche was no accident of nature. But why would anybody want him dead? And then the missing persons case turns into a murder case when Mike Wilson's body turns up in the river a couple of days later. But who killed him, and how? Furthermore, when another murder in Blight City is reported that week, the only suspect who makes sense...is the dead guy, Mike Wilson. But how could that have happened? It's up to Tully to figure it all out in this comic romp through the wilds of Blight County, from bestselling author Patrick McManus.

Solid, Detailed Design
Color: White, Color: White
I really like this garden angel statue -- from the SAMPU CRAFT store. I like the features and the overall design. The product features a solar lamp. It's super easy to use and requires no wires or electricity. The lamp is easily removed, so you can charge it up in a sunny spot and replace it if necessary. It doesn't take much sun to charge it up. While it's not an overly bright lamp, it will last for hours. The design of the angel figurine is very detailed and expressive. The wings and hair are particularly well done. I love the gently curved posture of the angel as she rests her face on her hands. The figurine is on the smaller side -- only about a foot high -- but it stands out as a nice statue in my garden. This garden piece would definitely work on the lawn or on a porch. It's a nice yellowish-white that would blend in to most places. But, there are a few green vines painted along the side of the little lamp post which makes it perfect to sit in a garden. The lamp casing itself is black and will just disappear when the light is on. I have several angel statues and I must say -- this one is very nice and stands out. It makes for a soothing, peaceful addition to my memory garden! Thank you.

Love the detail of the angel, the facials features the details in the wings love the rose vine! Great garden decor the solar lights only worked the first day i even checked the battery position and the on off switch, I am assuming the battery died, but I can get another solar light i still love the design.

Good Quality
Color: White
This is absolutely beautiful. The lighting is ambient and not bright, with a warm glow (not as bright as the photos), and the charge lasts about 3 hours, give or take. The plaster mold is done very well so that it looks high end. It is also high-quality because I dropped it and it didn't break. For this reason, the price is right. This would be a great gift, but also a wonderful ornament for the yard or even as a welcome at the front door.

Looks nice, and works well but the light doesn't fit well.
Color: White
I have mixed feelings about this little angel light. I got it for my mom, and she really loves it, and it looks great on the edge of the garden by the walkway up to the house. It doesn't provide a lot of light, but what it does offer is just enough at night to help people navigate until they're close enough for our motion activated porch light to turn on. The light however just doesn't come installed in the figure and doesn't fit very well into the hole it's supposed to sit in. I used some thick double sided tape as a gasket to hold it in place and solved the problem, but it's worth noting anyway. As for overall quality, it's ok, but not great. The figure is made of resin (plastic), and is fairly thin and not very strong. It's also very light and can be knocked or blown over by wind very easily. The casting on the angel itself is ok, but the socket the light sets into was misshapen and I also had to clean it up to even get the light to fit into it. (There was some flashing at the bottom of the hole that prevented it from sitting all the way down) Battery life seems to be pretty good, and lasts through the night as long as it gets enough sun during the day, but on cloudy days it tends to only last a few hours at most. And the light sensor does work well, it comes on right at dusk. As for value I'm not sure I'd say it's a great deal for the current price, but if you can find it on sale might be worth getting. Of course on anything decorative value is subjective and depends largely on how much you like the look of it. As always if I encounter any other issues or think of anything else to add I'll update this review!

solar figurine
Color: White
I recently added these angel figurines to my garden, and they are absolutely lovely. The solar-powered feature lights them up at night, creating a soft, peaceful glow that highlights my patio and lawn beautifully. The statues are well-crafted and durable, holding up nicely in sun and rain, and the white finish looks elegant against my greenery. They also make a thoughtful gift for moms or garden lovers. Overall, these are charming, functional, and decorative outdoor angel statues that add a serene touch to any garden or balcony.
