Sheriff Bo Tully
review 1: This is the first I have read of the Huckleberry Murders Series, this is #4. The Huckleberry Murders (Simon & Schuster 2010) finds Bo Tully, sheriff of Blight County, Idaho, picking huckleberries at his favorite remote spot in the hills. His solitude is disturbed by the screams of several women who have stumbled across three bodies in a nearby huckleberry patch. The three young men, who look like farmers with their calloused hands and old clothing, have all been shot in the back of the head, execution style. Bo finds faint blood traces of a possible 4th victim who fled, and calls in his friend Dave, an expert tracker, to see if he can pick up the trail. Meanwhile, Marge Poulson keeps dropping by the office, insisting that caretaker Ray Crockett has killed her ex-husband. ... moreBo can’t find any evidence against Crockett, but he suspects there may be a connection between him and the three murdered men. FBI agent Angela Phelps arrives to help with the investigation, and Bo takes her deep into the swamp to try and discover what the murderers were trying to hide. Amusing banter, quirky characters, and Bo’s unorthodox yet effective investigative style enliven this funny 4th in the series.Recommend
review 2: The Huckleberry Murders by Patrick McManus is just the ticket. Idaho Sherriff Bo Tully wanted to spend the day picking huckleberries for a pie; instead he has 3 dead bodies in a huckleberry patch and a thorny murder to investigate. A pretty FBI agent gets into the action since the murders took place in the National Forest. Bo likes the ladies but is not overly fond of the FBI, still they make an entertaining team going after the bad guys. less

I keep trying McManus' books, but don't really get into the series. Maybe I'll just stop here.
