I got hooked on Longmire  through the Netflix series but I had to stop watching after Season 2. I got tired of the story line re: the death of Longmire's wife. I was concerned that the books would be the same as the show but so far they aren't. The first story is also in the show but the ending is different. Hopefully the rest of the series is like that too. Johnson is a very good writer but I do  think he goes  on a bit too much about the Wyoming scenery.  I guess there's not much else to talk about out there. The book seems to be well-researched. I'm learning a lot about Viet Nam since Walt is a veteran of that war and the Native American culture. I got this first book cheap but the rest of the books are $10.99 or so. I guess they're riding the wave of popularity and who can blame them? I've been checking the books out of the library so far, trying to read them in order.
