The Cold Dish: A Longmire Mystery
by Craig Johnson
I've been meaning to get to the Longmire series for a long time. I finally got the audio book of The Cold Dish and I'm glad I did. Walt Longmire is the Sheriff of Absoroka County Wyoming. Cody Pritchard end up dead after being convicted of rape and given a suspended sentence. Cody had three accomplices in the rape, who were are given suspended sentences. Walt wonders if this is revenge, or something else.
As the investigation moves forward, we are introduced to a panoply of supporting characters. There is Harry Standing Bear, Walt's long-time friend; Vic, Walt's deputy and sassy heir-apparent; and Lucien Connolly, Walt's mentor. The characters are well-written and I found all of them fascinating.
Craig Johnson does a really good job of describing the town, its inhabitants, and its surroundings. The audio book was so well narrated, I will always hear that voice as I read more books in the series. George Guidall has the perfect voice for Longmire. I loved listening to him talk about the cold and the snow, the small-town people and their quirky personalities, and Walt's thoughts about all of it.
This was a good mystery and solid story telling. I will definitely be revisiting Walt and his cast of supporting characters in the future.
