Product Description: Bo Tully, sheriff of Blight County, Idaho -- and a fellow who dropped twenty pounds on Atkins -- had been thinking about asking out Jan Whittle, his grade-school sweetheart. Problem is, he's already promised to celebrate his dad's seventy-fifth birthday with him. Thwarted romance proves to be the least of Bo's problems, however, when a dead body turns up on Batim Scragg's ranch. Forced to put on his sleuthing hat, Bo finds himself faced with a whole slew of possible suspects. And what quickly becomes apparent is that, while the sheriff's investigative methods may not exactly be legal, they are, for better or worse, The Blight Way.
A bestselling author with more than two million books in print, the curmudgeonly wit Patrick F. McManus delivers a page-turning mystery filled with mirth and misadventure set in hook-and-bullet territory.
Fabulously Entertaining Audio Book My husband and I are big audio book fans and this is one of the most enjoyable ones we've heard in quite a while. Charles Leggett, the reader couldn't be better. His voices set the atmosphere for a good mystery that is full of wit. I can't wait for the next collaboration between McManus and Leggett.
McManus Another outstanding book by Ole' Pat. If you have read his work you will injoy this one very much. Cannot wait for the next in the series.
Fun & Easy to Read I enjoyed it. McManus has a great gift for humor. This may be his first venture into murder mysteries, but it is a fun and surprisingly good storyline. The book doesn't strive to get you to bite off all your fingernails in anxious anticipation of the final scene, but it does succeed in keeping your interest and putting life into a wide variety of colorful characters.
Patrick McMannus "The Blight Way" Good mystery written in the McMannus way, he weaves a good mystery with good attention to detail, I hope he continues the series on Bo Tully.
Patrick McManus is the World's Best Author! I have been a fan of Mr. McManus' short stories for years. It turns out that his talent is endless! In this full length novel we are introduced to Bo Tulley, Pap, and a pet spider! This is a great escape read! I was a bit worried that if Mr. McManus switched from humor to mystery writing that I may be disappointed by the serious approach. I need not have worried. This is a well told story by a writer who can handle any genre!
