The Cold Dish
by Craig Johnson
I enjoyed reading this book and give it a solid 4 stars. It is the first book in the series. Walt Longmire is the Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming. He has a 3 and 1/2 person department. Absaroka is not an actual County in Wyoming, but there are Absaroka mountains. I like the author's use of language, p.45"The aspen trees... were a bright butter..." He has captured the flavor of life on the high plains. He gets a call from a sheepherder who has found a body. He asks the location of the body and is about to hang up and head out when the caller says:'Hey, Shuuriff? Dad says for you to bring some beer, we're almost out." I did not realize who the murderer was until almost the end. There are some laugh out lines in this book. The TV series Longmire is based on this series and is pretty faithful to the books.
