The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson
3.0

I was curious about the Longmire novels after watching the TV series. Book Walt has QUITE the dry sense of humor. TV Walt has absolutely NO sense of humor. The main thing I took issue with was how I found it impossible to keep track of WHO Walt was speaking to or about much of the time. It was he or she too often and I needed names! Henry, Vic, and Lonnie had distinctive speech patterns, so I was able to keep them straight. I chuckled quite a bit over Walt and Henry's conversations. Their friendship was SO entertaining! However, I felt like an outsider on a bunch of insider jokes. In other words, I had to do a lot of backtracking to get the gist of what the heck was going on. At this point I'm interested in continuing with the series. I hope I'll be more in tune with the who, what, AND where going forward.
