Christmas in Absaroka County by Craig Johnson
4.0
Reluctant as I am to review holiday books, I was very pleased to read this wonderful collection of short stories by Craig Johnson that add to the adventures of Walt Longmire. I really like all of Mr. Johnson's books - he's smart and funny and observant and his crime novels are a cut above.
For those familiar with the Walt Longmire series, Christmas in Absaroka County will please you and make you smile and deepen your knowledge of Walt - a loveable and complex hero. If you've never read the Longmire books, these are a great introduction. All four stories revolve around the holidays, but none are cheap, sentimental, or predictable. For better or worse, Walt is a man with great stories to tell and these join those ranks. Great for a quick read during a break from the stress of the holidays, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
