The Blight Way: A Sheriff Bo Tully Mystery Audiobook

" Growing up in the small towns of Western Washington all my life has prepared me for the characters Pat McManus writes about. Equally endearing, and flawed, it is easy to imagine each persona that he invokes! "

" this was something new for McManus. He usually writes short stories. This was a good novel, easy to read and included McManus' sense of humor with a mystery. Gene gave me this to read while I was visiting him last week. "

" I have always loved McManus' humorous essays, so I was excited to read this book. From the minute I started to read, I had trouble putting it down. For some reason ever since starting to read Jasper Fforde I've somehow found myself on a mystery kick. This was well done, and I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series. "

" Charles Leggett does an outstanding job bringing life to the characters in Blight, Idaho. He is able to craft each character well. The mystery itself is lots of fun with lots of quirky characters. I laughed out loud many times. "

" Brother owns it, so thought I'd read it. It was ok. Not my fave. "

" Fun light mystery with McManus' usual quirkiness. "

" Good little read. Had some trouble concentrating with some of the descriptive passages. I was hoping to be laughing out loud all the time like with his short stories, but he was more subtle in his novel. Still, I will read more of the novels. "

" Sheriff Bo Tulley is called upon to investigate a dead body hanging on a ranch fence. While exploring the scence, two more bodies aare found. Throw in a missing rancher, a haunted hotel, and a good looking medical examiner and you get a pretty good yarn. "

" A good mystery. Enjoyed the writing. All in all, a good read. "

" Maybe I just have a soft spot for Pat MacManus, but I have to give this a 4 star if for no other reason than that it could have taken place in Idaho City. I do hope the larcenous around here don't read it and get ideas. "

" Good book. Read it in 2 days. "

" Novel style, but classic McManus. "

" This is McManus' first true fiction and it's quite funny. There is a sequel that is also really good. Living in Boise, it's kinda weird to see Boise mentioned as "the big city" in the book. Blight is a fictional Idaho town. But after reading this, I sure swear I've driven through it! "

" I love Patrick McManus. Usually his books are collections of short pieces. But this is a full-blown mystery novel set in Blight, Idaho (close to Famine, ID). As always, McManus' characters are wonderful, and the sleuthing in this book is lots of fun. "

" This was a very cute book, I love how the sheriff likes to practice looking concerned and his down to earth problem solving skills. His dad is a hoot. A fun read! "

" As funny as his previous books. "

" I love Pat McManus's homespun style, and the characters in this one have that same honest charm. A few of the gags are laugh out loud funny. This is an excellent summer or fall read. "

" Cleverly funny murder mystery. Kept us entertained as we drove from Idaho to California. "

" This was a good mystery and had some funny parts in it. However, I only gave it three stars because of all of the sexual innuendos it contained. Every male character seemed to be only interested in who he could "hustle" next. I was disappointed in it for this reason. "

" Fun mystery we listened to, while traveling up to Yellowstone. We actually saw some of the places that were talked about. "

" If you like Patrick McManus you'll like this book. It made me laugh. "

" Good read. I'm liking McManus and sheriff Bo Tully more with each book. "

" It was an okay mystery though not as funny as I had hoped. "

" Just not funny, McManus should have stuck to his awesome anecdotes instead of trying for a narrative "

" Wanted to love it because I love his outdoors books....but just couldn't get into it. Didn't even finish it. "

" I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. I liked the characters, enjoyed the murder mystery plot, and laughed at the small-town-backwardness stereotype perpetuated in this novel. A fun little quick read. I'll definitely look up more Bo Tully novels. "

" Hubby purchased the audio on itunes, might as well listen. A little suggestive in parts, but not bad. "

" This was a fun little mystery with a rural western setting. I liked the humor in the story and Sheriff Bo Tulley was a fun character. I look forward to reading more books in this series. "

" Good little read. Had some trouble concentrating with some of the descriptive passages. I was hoping to be laughing out loud all the time like with his short stories, but he was more subtle in his novel. Still, I will read more of the novels. "

" I gave this one to Rich because he likes McManus, but he didnn't read it. It has some good lines, the sheriff and his posse are pretty good characters. I might read the next one. "

" This was a good mystery and had some funny parts in it. However, I only gave it three stars because of all of the sexual innuendos it contained. Every male character seemed to be only interested in who he could "hustle" next. I was disappointed in it for this reason. "

" Light, funny read with good charaters and a fast pace. "

" Novel style, but classic McManus. "
