Reseñas de la Crítica

“Tully once again proves an unorthodox and effective lawman, while McManus’s storytelling … never flags.” ( Publishers Weekly)

5 stars for McManus

Great humor. Enjoyable reading like all his books. Need more Patrick, if you are listening!!!!

Bo Tully Returns!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. This is a fun little cozy mystery with a decent story and fun characters. The mystery itself has enough going on to keep you wondering what the real story is for most of the book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Huckleberry Murders?

Bo & Angie's swamp investigation was pretty entertaining.

What does Tom Stechschulte bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings a good characterization of most of the characters in the book. His Bo sounds exactly how I would expect him to sound.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes actually, it kept me entertained and wondering what would happen next throughout. The length was about right for the material. I could easily see listening to this in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Between the author's sense of humor and the narrator's performance, this was a lot of fun.BONUS POINTS: Crazy Eddie Muldoon (a staple of McManus' humor stories about growing up in Idaho) makes an appearance as one of Pap's buddies as a kid.

Hilarious and lots of fun

Patrick McManus just keeps getting better. What fun that he has started writing novels! You needn't have read any of his essays prior to starting on his novels, but having at least listened to "How I Got This Way" will only add to the fun: You will recognize some of the characters from his childhood popping up in his novels. McManus made a name for himself writing humorous pieces about hunting and fishing for publications such as "Field and Stream" and "Outdoor Life." Born and raised in Idaho, he writes about what he knows and loves. All of his Bo Tully mysteries take place in Blight County, Idaho, where Bo works as sheriff. Sadly, only two of the Bo Tully series have been published in audio so far: "The Blight Way" (2006) and "The Huckleberry Murders" (2010). Audible: Please get us the rest!

fun without being too light

Typical Bo Tully story. Well performed. Lots of interesting "characters". I've listed to it many times already.

Easy read.

Bo Tully stories are easy to read, funny and entertaining. good to listen to when you are doing other things. A very good read.

Gret book, Good performance, issues with burning

Would you try another book from Patrick McManus and/or Tom Stechschulte?

Pat McManus is one of my favorite authors. Tom Stechschulte did a good job, although I prefer the narrator for the first Bo Tully mystery, The Blight Way.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dave the Indian. An indian who's not really an indian, although he's a tracker, great shot, and his tribe (the Dave tribe that consists of a total of 1) keeps trying to put a casino on his reservation (5 acres).

What about Tom Stechschulte’s performance did you like?

Fairly good performance. Not my favorite voice for Bo Tully and his supporting cast, but above average.

Did The Huckleberry Murders inspire you to do anything?

Write more.

Any additional comments?

The big problem with this book was that disc 2 did not burn correctly. After emailing this problem with audible support, the book was reset and I tried to burn it again. The second burn had the same issues. The book wanted to cut out and give an error at section 6. Is there a chance it was the cd's? Not since it happened on the same spot on the same cd (Two different brand new cd's were used. They were void of any seen defects). Was it my cd burner? Doubt it. The rest of the book downloaded fine, and I've used it for other books and music. How about my cd player? Every other cd and the first half of the second cd worked fine. The problem is I can't really try more cd's with the "one burn policy."

Easy,, relaxing read

The setting and characters were very relatable and the narration was great.. I always enjoy Patrick McManus’ Bo Tully mysteries,,, excellent story teller.

BO TULLY

This is a good book. It's about Bo Tully. Bo is the sheriff in Blight county. Bo does things his way. I like how he works. I like the family type storyline. His pa and the side characters. This is my favorite book so far about Tully. I have liked them all. A FBI agent (Angie) helped Bo out. I liked how they worked together. There's been a triple murders that's why they sent Angie in to help solve the case. Tom Stechschulte does a great job narrating this book.

Pleasant background

Not a complicated story. The reader has an easy voice to listen to. There are enough sub plots to keep you engaged and interested but the lines are not so layered it requires all your concentration. Good background for a long road trip

One of the Best Bo Tulleys.

Great story! If you haven't listen to the other Bo Tulley stories this one is book 4. They are stand alone stories, but it's better to listen to them in order as there is some links. The narration was the best of the series. I wish Tom Stechschulte did them all, although Charles Leggett in "The Blight Way" (Book #1) is a master too. At times, you forget it's one person reading. He does the voices so well, even the women! Highly recommend!
