Blight Way Part 1

The book that I chose to read was titled The Blight Way: A Sheriff Bo Tully Mystery, by Patrick F. McManus. This book is about Bo Tully, the sheriff of the small very poor Blight County in Idaho. Teamed up with Tully is Pap, Tully’s seventy-five year old father and former Blight County Sheriff. As a birthday present Tully takes Pap along to help investigate the murder of three men from Los Angeles. Two of these men were found in a car on a logging road, and the third was found some distance away draped over a fence post. While Sheriff Tully is acquainted with dealing with crime and murders he quickly comes to realize that this is not going to be his average murder case. We also meet several of the supporting characters: Buck Toole a bumbling deputy sheriff, Batim Scragg the county trouble maker, Susan Parker the attractive medical examiner that just moved into the county, and Dave Perkins a restaurant owner that claims to be an Indian tracker.
