Title: Johnson 's "The Cold Dish" takes you to Wyoming
Review: I became an instant fan of the "Longmire" TV series now airing on cable TV. The writing and acting make for a compelling procedural set in Wyoming (even if it is rumored to be filmed in New Mexico). I'm a former Wyoming resident and they're selling me on the series' authenticity.Having said all that, I was happy tap into my Kindle Fire to sample "The Cold Dish," Craig Johnson's 1st in the Walt Longmire series of books. He brings the characters to life, gives each of them his/her own well-defined persona, and weaves a fascinating crime tale. Johnson lives in Ucross, Wyoming, and brings the landscape and people to life in vivid fashion. He carries me back to the Cowboy State with each reading. Craig Johnson makes you care about his cast of characters. He leads you logically along the mystery trail, springing delicious surprises as the tale unfolds. The books are much better than the TV series. I will have to read the entire Walt Longmire saga.
