If Longmire was Sheriff in any town larger than micro size, he would be ridden out of town on a rail, besides being tarred and feathered.  He is my kind of guy.  The story gets a bit tangled in descriptive rhetoric here and there but Longmire slogs out of the morass with no trumpets blasting, and little fanfare, getting the job done, loosing a person and making a lot of friends with his readers.  The book leaves you wanting more, and more is available.  This is the first book in the Longmire series, and several more await us midnight readers!
