The Blight way: a Sheriff Bo Tully mystery by Patrick F. McManus

In ten words or less: Rural sheriff investigates the murder of mystery city slickers.

Review: A dead body is discovered on Batim Scraggs' ranch, but the pinstripe suited murder victim is a stranger to the inhabitants of Blight County, Idaho. Normally, Sheriff Bo Tully would suspect the petty criminals of the Scraggs clan, but this killing doesn't seem like their type of crime.
Tully, a 40-something part-time artist and full time law enforcement officer, investigates with the help of his dad, Pap. It's Pap's 75th birthday, and allowing him to help with the case is Tully's gift to him.
While tracking down the killer, Tully and Pap discover strange goings-on at the neighboring Littlefield ranch. Rumors are that Littlefield is trading his cattle to make way for a vineyard. His cowboys are fired, and hard-looking men riding ATVs are patrolling the property.
Readers looking for a mystery with a northwoods flavor and a minimum of sex and gore will enjoy this book. Author Patrick McManus is a columnist for "Field and Stream" and "Outdoor Life," and the author of numerous books, including "Never Sniff a Gift Fish" and "The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw."

Why Bother? A "cozy" for the guys.
