Summary

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)

Perfect narration

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

A slow burn

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.

ĹIfe Lessons? ..... 'It is so'

This author has created a murder mystery that is so multi layered saying Bravo just doesn't do it justice. For me it spoke to me and confirmed that although we all look different we are all on the same path to Valhalla. All with a different life map/route but seeking the same answer .... does anyone really see and hear me? I found the book shortly after my wife died and it helped me be reminded as Henry says at the end '.... 'it's because there's more geese on one side'. Thank you Craig Jackson and Audible as I think I'll get 'off the porch now' and continue my personal life journey. ❤️

Loved it

Loved the humour that threaded its way through to the end! Made me laugh out loud more than once. The narrator was perfect . The seriousness was balanced with good characters and solid storytelling.

An excellent dramatisation makes a good story even better.

Loved George’s rich voice and clever dramatisation, thought the story excellent until the last when there was suddenly too much violent physical action for comfort, or indeed to sit well with the sedentary character we’d come to love.

Some of my favourite all time books

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

Really good

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.
