The Cold Dish (Walt Longmire Series #1) Book

Solid narrative with guts!


This is the first novel in the "Longmire Mysteries" book series.


MODERN-DAY SHERIFF

I have watched the TV adaptation of Longmire since its beginning.

I decided to watch it since it has three cast members that I was familiarized and I like to watch them to perform:

-Katee Sackhoff, from Battlestar Galactica (the re-imagined TV series) and she was honestly my main reason to watch this TV series. She plays "Deputy Victoria (Vic) Moretti".

But I didn't mind to find too…

-Cassidy Freeman, from Smallvile TV series. She plays "Cady Longmire".

-Lou Diamond Phillips, from La Bamba film. He plays "Henry Standing Bear".

Also, I like the concept of a modern-day sheriff, investigating murders.

Sheriff Walt Longmire, is the sheriff in the fictional Absaroka County.

While the TV series is different in certain elements and dynamics than the original book series, certainly I can say that any fan of the TV series would enjoy to read the novels.


THEY AREN'T FOOLING AROUND

The first novel introduces all the main characters (even several that you haven't never met in the TV series) of the book series, along with the mystery to solve, employing more scientific and police procedures than you have witnessed in most of the TV show.

Sheriff Walt Longmire is getting used to live alone, since his wife died like 4 years ago (here was for natural causes), also there was a rough case that it didn't end well, so he isn't on his top when you meet him in the book.

An American Native girl was raped by several white teenagers but they weren't punished by the court as they should…

…now, those teenagers, already young men, are starting to appear dead, one by one.

And since they weren't model citizens, there are just too many suspects, even closer than Walt Longmire would prefer, and while he isn't showing a single tear for those scumbags, he is the law in Absaroka County and he has a duty to do.

Sheriff Walt Longmire is tough man, he has seen a lot in his life, he has endured a lot, but maybe nothing of those hard experience prepared him…

…for such visceral twist in this murder investigation.

Revenge is dish best served cold, Klingons know it,…

…and Sheriff Walt Longmire will have to assimilate it too.
