In his fourth outing (after The Double-Jack Murders), Sheriff Bo Tully of Blight County, ID, is hip deep in bodies when he finds three young men shot to death execution-style as he is out picking huckleberries for his mother. Since the killings occurred on federal land, a beautiful female FBI agent arrives to work on the case. Tully also suspects a missing elderly rancher has been murdered by his caretaker but doesn't have a case without a body. VERDICT McManus's folksy narrative keeps the reader's interest with plenty of humor, aw-shucks moments, and action. C.J. Box fans will find less harsh reality here, but Bo Tully is a treat for readers who like some Western flair and an old-fashioned approach to justice in their mysteries.
