The Cold Dish: A Longmire Mystery
by Craig Johnson
The Cold Dish is the first book in an excellent mystery series set in beautiful, isolated Bighorn Mountain Country in Wyoming. There is tension in the air between the white population and the Native American community following the assault by four white teens on a young Native American girl with fetal alcohol syndrome. The sheriff, Walt Longmire, is nearing retirement; life has slowed down and deteriorated since his wife passed away. When a revenge killing takes the life of one of the arrested teens, the community is filled with mistrust. The sheriff's closest friend is a Native American. It is this relationship that is so unique and powerful. It shapes the dialogue, illustrates life on a modern reservation, provides glimpses into their culture and history, and more. The clues come slowly, but once the killer is revealed, you realize how adeptly the author inserted clues along the way. This is also the series that the A&E Channel developed for the TV series "Longmire." Excellent book and DVD series.
