Hell Is Empty
by Craig Johnson
A good story that dragged on a bit longer then it needed to and the theme in this one is getting repetitive for the series, you can skip this book if you are reading the series and not miss anything.
Sheriff Walt Longmire is supposed to do a simple prisoner transfer with the F.B.I. up in the mountains that turns out to be anything but. The worst of the prisoners (a native american they term a BFI) has agreed to lead the F.B.I. to the body of a young boy he killed a long time ago. The problem arises when the boy, Owen White Buffalo is on his turf and related to a recent prisoner Virgil (another BFI) who has escaped custody and is somewhere on the mountain. When the body is recovered the prisoners escape killing all the guards but 2 and taking 2 female hostages before fleeing up the mountain in search of hidden money just as the mother of all winter storms sets in. Walt of course chases them down. On the way he runs into Virgil who helps him as well as many spirits of the dead.
The action of Man vs. Weather that occur are completely unbelievable, everyone would be dead (most of all Walt) ten times over before then end of the story. It's also a very tired plot devise since it's used in all the other books in the series so far but the third book. The spirits looking out for Walt and helping him is a bit repetitive too and not that plausible. The chasing the convicts was the high of the story, it is a good chase book but that's about all it has going for it. Some humor but not as much as before. Not the best book of the series, I will count this one as the worst so far.
