Blight Way Part 3
Things are finally starting to come together for Sheriff Tully. It would also appear that Pap is starting to rub off on Tully. Throughout the book Tully has been a very mild mannered, easy going guy but as he gets closer to solving the crime we find that some of his investigative methods may not exactly be legal. Tully also has come to realize that he has stumbled onto much more than a couple of murders. It turns out that a good part of the population from the town of Famine, a small community within Blight County, is involved in an organized drug ring and the Littlefield ranch is in the center of it all. The three men from Los Angeles were murdered because they were trying to muscle in on the production side of the drug business. I felt that the last part of the book was great. It amazed me how Tully transform from such an easygoing character to a man that was all business. I found it equally amazing was how quickly he could revert back as soon as the shooting was over. I also enjoyed how descriptive Patrick McManus was in the telling of the final fight scene, I was able to visualize it as I read. The best part about the end of the book is that McManus throws in a few twists right at the end. But to find out what they are you have to read the book yourself.

I am not sure if this would be a book of my taste, but I certainly see that boys would like it. I will have to keep it in mind for my children. They would like the mystery and adventure.
