PATRICK F. McMANUS |
The first of two here this evening from over the Cascades brings us Spokane-based Patrick McManus. From his earlier humorous collections of essays—The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw, The Grasshopper Trap, Real Ponies Don't Go Oink, and more—he's now been writing a popular mystery series featuring Sheriff Bo Tully of Blight County, ID. The Huckleberry Murders (Simon & Schuster) is the fourth of these, a novel in which Bo Tully has a murder suspect, but no body or other evidence to prove a murder has been committed. Then he finds bodies, but for these has no likely suspect. "In his fourth outing (after The Double-Jack Murders), Sheriff Bo Tully is hip deep in bodies when he finds three young men shot to death execution-style as he is out picking huckleberries for his mother ... McManus' folksy narrative keeps the reader's interest with plenty of humor, aw-shucks moments, and action ... Bo Tully is a treat for readers who like some western flair and an old-fashioned approach to justice in their mysteries." - Library Journal.
