Synopses & Reviews
The latest installment in the series that Booklist recommends to “fans of humor in the mold of Dave Barry or Garrison Keillor,” featuring the inimitable Sheriff Bo Tully of Blight County, Idaho.
• A bestselling, beloved Author - With an inimitable style that “brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor” ( People ), Patrick McManus is a master at depicting the quirky characters and strange customs of America’s Pacific Northwest. The New York Times Book Review says, “everybody should read Patrick McManus.”
• The fourth in a popular series: With more than 300,000 books in print, McManus has created an infectious series of comedic mysteries that critics call “the most entertaining debut in years” ( Kirkus Reviews ) and a “folksy whodunit such fun to curl up with” ( The New York Times ).
• Backwoods characters, irresistible women, and plenty of local color: When an elderly rancher disappears from Blight County, rumors of murder spread fast. But until Sheriff Bo Tully finds the body, he can’t be sure foul play was involved. Accusations fly, checks are cashed, and when four bodies are discovered in a huckleberry patch, Tully has his hands full in this latest romp through the wilds of Idaho.
