Award-winning author Craig Johnson's critically acclaimed debut Western mystery takes listeners to the breathtaking mountains of Wyoming for a tale of cold-blooded vengeance. Two years earlier, four high school boys were given suspended sentences for raping a Cheyenne girl. Now, two of the boys have been killed, and only Sheriff Walt Longmire can keep the other two safe. 

"Johnson, who lives in Ucross, Wyoming, knows the Western landscape well, and creates stunning and violent scenes of the Rocky Mountains." (Bookmarks)

I must say this is one of the best books I’ve come across in a long time. It is very slow & non-linear when it comes to describing the feelings and observations of Walt, and Henry and all the other characters. But you get fully immersed in how they think what’s going on in them and the author hits it right on the bottom. I can highly recommend this to anybody who likes Fargo or the Charlie Parker series

Absolutely a new classic

A who dun-nit type story made a success for me by a great narrator.

Perfect narration

Really enjoyed it, and what a narrator!! Exceptional.
A good yarn about an assault on a young girl and the ensuing revenge, told by the sheriff, who has a dry sense of humour and is surrounded by some very interesting characters.

Really good

I was first told about Craig Johnson's books about ten years ago and read this one, The Cold Dish and read it and the following ones as they became available, quickly falling in love with Walt and Henry and the rest of the cast of characters. Then I started re-reading them about five years ago with the newer ones, and then a couple of weeks ago I thought I would listen to them again on Audible and I think that I have got through all of the published ones (just finished First Frost yesterday). Its such a different experience listening to a book compared to reading it and I have enjoyed them as much this time as I did the first. It helps that as I have aged my memory has deteriorated a little and I don't remember the plots, so I am as surprised by the twists and turns as I was the first time.

George Guidall is a master storyteller and performer and I love it when he performs the books, so huge thanks to him.

Can't wait for the next one. Big love Craig xx

Some of my favourite all time books

It was a bit slow to get into. The narrator, fitting perfectly with the character, slow and methodical was great for sleep time. The story was good and was settling old scores.

A slow burn
