The Tamarack Murders

A Bo Tully Mystery, Book 5

By: Patrick F. McManus

Narrated by: Peter Coleman

Bo Tully, the renowned sheriff of Blight County, Idaho, has seen his share of small-town crime. And, he always gets his man, whether by the book or otherwise. Fact is, everyone in the area knows Tully, and his unique 'Blight Way' of doing things.

When Tully and his deputy hike deep into the woods, tracking a suspected bank robber, little do they realize that they are about to witness a murder. Soon, the murder leads the Sheriff on a convoluted adventure, with a series of twists and turns, each demanding his utmost attention and keenest crime-solving abilities.

Along the way, Tully has to deal with the likes of a shadowy local named Gridley Shanks; two out-of-town elk hunters who don’t know much about elk hunting; an elderly couple who end up dead while caring for a rundown mansion; a sassy assistant named Daisy; and an attractive, tough FBI agent named Angie, who suddenly finds herself involved in her first murder investigation. There’s also the case of missing loot, which no one can find, at least not until Tully puts his mind to it. Will Tully get his man (or men) this time? Does the 'Blight Way' ever fail? Listen to another enticing mystery, turned misadventure, by New York Times bestselling author, Patrick F. McManus, to find out!

Love all the Bo Tully books!

All of the Bo Tully books are excellent stand alone stories, but do have some links to the other books. I recommend listening to them in order. This is Book #5. The narration was good, just not quite as good as Charles Leggett in "The Blight Way" or Tom Stechschulte in "The Huckleberry Murders". Peter Coleman does great at all the male voices. The females....not so much. They all have the same slightly annoying voice, and not what I got used to with the other 2 narrators. Overall, still I enjoyed every minute and I highly recommend!

Another Bo Tully Success

These shorter books are a great listen and worth a laugh or two. McManus has a knack for one liners that are really pretty clever and funny. As the series progresses, the reader learns to like the characters more and more. I was a little concerned that the latest narrator was different, but he got the job done and seemed to get in the spirit of things. This mystery is a little different than the others - simpler. If you're looking for a Nobel prize winner, you need to look somewhere else. If you're looking for a lighthearted mystery with some funny characters, then you've come to the right place.

Tamarack Murders

This is another good book about Bo Tully. This book gave me a feeling of Longmire. Even better. Bo is after bank robbers. The Banter between all the characters make this a great series. I enjoyed this book and series. Peter Coleman does a great job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

Love this series. The reader for this one was awful.

Terrible reader. Voicing was wrong for several characters and difficult to listen to. Certainly not as good of a narrator as the previous books in this series. Story and characters are entertaining.

Mediocre .

Convoluted sometimes incoherent blabbering. Little of mystery or whatever. Do not waste time listening to it.
