P. McManus is a funny guy, but I think much more so in his writing of articles, and short stories. His Outdoor Life and F&S stuff was/is killer. In this third offering, Sheriff Bo is a cross between Spenser and a rodeo clown, and I'm never quite sure if he's putting me on or not. Likeable enough, I must say that the good sheriff must put on some seriously aphrodisiac-laced aftershave in order to have the ladies (young,old, in-between) swoon for him so. The other characters are the usual suspects, named Pap, Lurch, Daisy, Bunny, etc. You get the idea.The best way I can describe the book is: cute.2.5 Stars Bo Tully, sheriff of Blight County, is in the sights of an escaped psycopathic prisoner, and he's getting tired of it. So he persuades his father (the wealthy ex-sheriff), and his friend Dave to go on a camping trip, ostensibly to do a little fishing and find the father of an elderly woman, who disappeared when she was a little girl. But Bo also sends a deputy back to the woods to see if he can spot the escapee getting ready to take aim at Bo.
What do You think about The Double-Jack Murders (2009)?
It was a fun book to read but did not seem to challenge me much. It seemed more for younger readers
