The Huckleberry Murders

The Huckleberry Murders
by Patrick McManus

Blight County, Idaho where legal statutes are suggestions instead laws to be enforced -- this is the approach that Sheriff Bo Tully takes to his job. That attitude works until a crime wave breaks out in the area. Three young men are found shot to death, execution style, in a huckleberry patch on Scotchman Mountain. Then a longtime local rancher Orville Poulson, is reported missing by his estranged wife, Marge. She claims that Ray Crockett, Orville's ranch foreman is responsible. Bo uses his unorthodox methods to unravel the murders and Orville's disappearance. Patrick McManus is a retired humor columnist for Outdoor Life. Fortunately, he didn't retire his sense of humor when he left the magazine. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the works of James Doss and Craig Johnson.] -- recommended by Donna G. - Virtual Services Department
