Blight Way Part 4

I would highly recommend this book to anyone. McManus does an amazing job of mixing a lot of humor into a murder mystery. The interaction between Tully’s and Pap is hilarious. Tully is the mild mannered artist, while Pap being from an older generation would have felt right at home in the Wild West. McManus does an excellent job of keeping the reader engaged and wondering what is going to happen next. Even though main character is a middle aged man, I think that adolescent boys would really enjoy this book. It has it all murder, action, mystery, suspense, and lots of humor. I think that this would be a good book to have in a high school special education classroom for students with reading problems. I say this because even though it has a more adult feel, it is very easy to read. On the Flesch-Kincaid scale it reads at a 6.2 grade level. I know that when I start my own classroom library this book will be on the shelf.
