Title: Past and Present
Product review: I enjoyed this story, although I thought the identity of the killer was never even a question. The Wyoming setting is beautifully depicted. The characters are consistent from book to book. In this particular story, a young Vietnamese woman is found murdered in Walt Longmire's jurisdiction. In her purse is a photo of Walt when he was in Vietnam, more than thirty years earlier. The story contains Walt's flashbacks to Vietnam. These are few and short, but they tell a story within the main story. As always, the dialogue between Henry Standing Bear and Walt is the highlight of the book.The characters in this series have always seemed too stereotyped to me: the good-hearted cook, the absent-minded former sheriff, the foul-mouthed female deputy from Philadelphia, and so on. I wish they had more complexity, less predictability.
