coca_reads 's review for:

A Serpent's Tooth by Craig Johnson
3.5
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Another decent Walt Longmire novel.

Old sheriff in a western town, native best friend, absurdly loyal dog, looks into the appearance of a kid with ties to a nearby religious cult.

These characters are more caricatures than real, but they're endearing and they have small bits of nuance and depth scattered throughout. It's easy to see why these are popular. They absolutely grow on you.
