That sounds quite fun. I am a huge fan of Kinky Friedman. Maybe I'll give this Lansdale a go

Bad Chili was my first Lansdale book. There is a degree of continuity book to book, so probably you should try to read them in order of publication date. BC was a riot, tho'.

For "Hank" read "Hap." Steel-trap memory needs some mental WD-40 and a scouring pad.

Dog On It by Spencer Quinn.

Bernie and Chet make up the Little Detective Agency. Chet, the narrator, is an observant and reasonable fellow - unless distracted by a parrot or cat. Chet is a mixed breed, K-9 school dropout. (There was that unfortunate incident with the cat)

It's a fast read and I found it to be thoroughly lovable - and a good detective story. If you like this sort of thing, this is just the sort of thing you would like.

Whether by accident or intent amazon.com recently had most of the Lemony Snicket A Series of Unfortunate Events books available for free download.

So I downloaded all of them. I am swiftly working my way through them.
