Story
The stories in Kerplunk! travel the byways and highways of the Pacific Northwest, bringing to life offbeat, down-home characters who hope their grandchildren can pick the lock on the gun safe because they've forgotten the combination, who know exactly why it costs $500 to make a fly lure that retails for $2, and who aren't afraid to confront the problems of bird-dog flatulence.

You don't have to be a hunter or camper to enjoy this collection of hilarious stories by a writer who is often compared to Mark Twain and Garrison Keillor. In fact, the charm of Patrick F.

The feds want Miami bookmaker Harry Arno to squeal on his wiseguy boss. So they're putting word out on the street that Arno's skimming profits from "Jimmy Cap" Capotorto - which he is, but everybody does it. He was planning to retire to Italy someday anyway, so Harry figures now's a good time to get lost. U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens knows Harry's tricky - the bookie ditched him once in an airport while in the marshal's custody - but not careful.

Story
Rodeo Grace Garnet lives alone, save for his old dog, in a remote corner of Arizona known to locals as the Hole. He doesn't get many visitors, but a body found near his home has drawn police attention to his front door. The victim is not one of the many illegal immigrants who risk their lives to cross the border just south of the Hole, but is instead a member of one of the local Indian tribes.

You probably haven't noticed them. But they've noticed you. They notice everything. That's their job. Sitting quietly in a nondescript car outside a bank making note of the tellers' work habits. Lagging a few car lengths behind the Brinks truck on its daily rounds. Surreptitiously jiggling the handle of an unmarked service door at the racetrack. They're heisters.

Lots of fun and no bad language
The caracters in this book are just that..characters, and I hated to see the book end. I loved the way this author handled profanity, humorously with out actually using it.
Some books have way to may four letter words for my taste. When this book was over, I hurried to audible to see if there were any more books by this author about these folks and was very disapointed not to find any.

Fun listen, even the second time.
Maybe because I'm from the rural West, but this was like eavesdropping on friends. The characters are real and the story was solid without being over-done. Was sad when it ended.
Second time through
Sheriff Bo Tully isn't the brightest, likes to think he's the best looking, and would rather be painting than solving a murder, but it's Pap's birthday and the old man does love a good dead body. In honor of Pap's 75th, he gets three dead bodies.
The Skagg family, long known to the law enforcement community of the area, got a dead man hanging over their fence. A little tracking later, and Tully finds the dead man's two dead friends. At least, they're dressed alike and all seem to be from L.A. What brings three city boys to the Skragg ranch in Idaho? Nothing good, Bo figures.
This is a cozy, outdoor type of mystery. If you like your heroes slightly flawed, slightly amusing, and successful in the end, this is your kind of story. Short, sweet, and Pap's a hoot. No PC in his repertoire.

Pretty fun
A lighthearted Longmire. In fact in setting, in characterization, in plot scenario and all it's very, very, much like Longmire. I wonder who plagiarized whom. My biggest criticism is that it feels like every female character has only been written in to either act as eye candy for the main characters, or to fawn over them. It got a bit old hearing the sheriff size up each woman he encounters. There's a couple plot holes that aren't weren't mentioning. They don't ruin the fun for me.
The reader's voice put me more in mind of an 80s rom com than it did of a western-style murder mystery. But his performance is expressive, his characters are distinct, and he gets the job done.
Over all, I think I'd recommend this one.

Good Mystery from Patrick McManus
I really enjoyed this story. The main character reminded me of a cross between my uncle Virlyn and Peter Weller. The only complaint I have is the audiobooks chapters aren't divided correctly. This is a minor complaint and certainly didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. I just saw that this book was written by Patrick McManus so I had to check it out. I grew up hearing my uncle read "The Night the Bear Ate Goomba" barely able to breath because he was laughing so hard. He did that a couple of times a year usually around Christmas and the summer.

Adventure, characters, and fun
Patrick McManus book uses his knowledge of Idaho to draw you into this adventure and mystery. I really enjoyed the discriptions of the parts of Idaho that I have visited and characters who live in these communities. This is a great mystery with a lot of fun attached. The conversations fit the community he is writing about. Giving you a good idea of how things work in a small town. Living in a small community I could relate to many aspects of small town life. Well worth the price and time.
