Description

From bestselling author Patrick McManus comes the first mystery starring Blight County sheriff, Bo Tully which Kirkus Reviews called “one of the most entertaining debuts in years.”

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.

Although I agree with the previous reviewer's comments about the horrible job the publisher did, I am glad I went beyond the missing apostrophes, quotation marks and other grammatical errors by the publisher. If you enjoy Patrick McManus' writing, this book is a well told story that will keep you involved from beginning to end.
Publisher should be shot!

I would really like to read this book!!! Starts out interesting but has so many typos that it is unreadable. Unless the publisher is giving the book away, he cannot do a quick scan job and not check it. Please try again and in the meantime refund what you have charged.
