The Cold Dish: A Longmire Mystery
by Craig Johnson
Read for Bookclub
Overall Rating: 4.25
Story Rating: 4.50
Character Rating: 4.00
Audio Rating (not part of overall rating): 3.50
First thought when finished: What a great beginning to this series. I am so glad that I picked it up!
What I Loved: Walt and Harry (his best friend) were two characters that I absolutely fell in love with while reading The Cold Dish. Vic was a close third in my favorite character category. It isn't often in a mystery that I love and connect to the characters as much as the case. I did love the case and I didn't guess who the perp was until almost 3/4 of the way through. Even then it was just a guess but it was fun figuring it out right along with Walt!
What I Liked: I liked how the main case was woven with a past case. I really liked the visiting of the Res and all of characters based there.
Final thought: The Cold Dish served up both a great case and a wonderful cast of characters. I will be continuing this series.
Audio specific review: George Guidall is a fantastic narrator but it took awhile for me to warm up to him being Walt Longmire. After I got used to him doing the voice it was fantastic. The pacing of the reading was perfect and added to the enjoyment of the story.
