Introducing Wyoming’s Sheriff Walt Longmire in this riveting first Longmire novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves

Fans of Ace Atkins, Nevada Barr and Robert B. Parker will love this outstanding first novel, in which New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson introduces Sheriff Walt Longmire of Wyoming’s Absaroka County. Johnson draws on his deep attachment to the American West to produce a literary mystery of stunning authenticity, and full of memorable characters. After twenty-five years as sheriff of Absaroka County, Walt Longmire’s hopes of finishing out his tenure in peace are dashed when Cody Pritchard is found dead near the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Two years earlier, Cody has been one of four high school boys given suspended sentences for raping a local Cheyenne girl. Somebody, it would seem, is seeking vengeance, and Longmire might be the only thing standing between the three remaining boys and a Sharps .45-70 rifle.

With lifelong friend Henry Standing Bear, Deputy Victoria Moretti, and a cast of characters both tragic and humorous enough to fill in the vast emptiness of the high plains, Walt Longmire attempts to see that revenge, a dish best served cold, is never served at all.

Wonderful. Craig Johnson has managed to create characters that I would personally like to know. That is the highest praise I'm capable of bestowing.

The Cold Dish. Damned entertaining!

Perfect. Johnson has a unique ability to capture Wyoming as its known to those of us who've spent our lives here. I love the characters and plot, but the complete accuracy of life on the western edge of the Powder River Basin and the base of the Bighorn Mountains makes it a must read.

The cold dish. This was an amazing book to read. Had a hard time putting it down. Nice work on story plot and though it was rather easy to know who done it mid way through it was still great to wait to see how it all played out. I will be getting the next book ASAP!

The Cold Dish. I binge watched the Netflix series first (all 8 seasons) and kept wanting more. The books are as good or better. Highly recommended.

The Cold Dsh. I fell in love with tv show on A&E, now I am in love with books.

G.g. maw

Excellent. Very good introduction to some interesting characters.

Tedious. Slow pace. Too much useless banter. I think the writer aimed for clever dialogue, but it just fell flat for me. I just didn’t care whodunit after a while.

The cold dish. Loved this book. The characters are awesome. So much better than the tv show.

Roomcandy

Good start for a new series .. I loved the story line and enjoyed the characters. Some of the writing was a little drawn out and I was lost in some of the text and had to reread areas to understand what was being said. However it was a good start for a new series.

Cold dish. Good read.

RubelaReads

The Cold Dish. Being first in the Longmire series, this book sets the stage by introducing the characters and the terrain, which serves as a character. This book may be a little too wordy even if Sheriff Longmire isn't. There are some things introduced that then fade away. (Longmire trying to get into shape, for instance.) Still, this is a good series, and it's always best to read the first book.

Fallen in love with the show, and now the books. The books feel very realistic. Walt is very funny and Vic is hilarious

Minbri

Excellent writing and brilliant story. Finally an author who combines great wit with an uncanny ability to bring his characters to life. I suspect I shall now be reading the rest of the series and wishing for more! I highly recommend to both men and women -- thanks, Craig, for sharing your talent!

The cold dish. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one. Well written and never slow. I really got to know the characters and to like them. I could almost hear and see them.

Very Happy Apple Customer

Fantastic Writing. Characters and their interaction is brilliant, numerous, entertaining. Descriptions are paintings, rich and detailed, feels like you’re their. Vulgar but can easily be overlooked. But the ending is very much a downer. Cowboy pathos I suppose.

Very enjoyable. Although I enjoy the TV series, the book was even better. I found it much funnier and I really liked getting to see what is going on inside Walt's odd little brain. If you have watched the series and like mysteries then don't be put off and think you know how it ends. The TV show & the book have enough differences, and a different ending, so it can still be a great read.

great series where is it?. This is a really good show. It should be available in Canada too. Come on iTunes, get your act in gear!
