"Another good one from Craig Johnson---I finished it with trepidation, knowing there are only a few more books currently left in the Walt Longmire series. Craig Johnson has rapidly become one of my favorite authors, continuing to impress with his writing and particularly his character development. His books always make me consider living in Wyoming, but this one gives the reader pause with its description of overwhelming winter weather. I've only been to Wyoming in the summer and I've always enjoyed my visits---perhaps I should continue on that basis."

“It’s the scenery—and the big guy standing in front of the scenery—that keeps us coming back to these lean and leathery mysteries.”
— New York Times Book Review“It’s hard to imagine a more likable lawman than Sheriff Walt.”
— Kirkus Reviews" Hard to get into but managed to finish it. Wasn't as "edge of seat- keep me wanting" as I am used to but a good story never the less "
— barbara, 5/5/2017" Another fun book in one of my favorite mystery series. "
— Mercedes, 2/17/2014" The characters and characterization made this book for me. Set in a Wyoming winter where the temperature tops out at about 3 degrees, it pits Sheriff Walt Longmire and his deputies against bad guys of the in-bred, amateur, and hardcore variety in a town where everyone has a wise-ass comment.

— Carolyn, 2/15/2014" Love this series, though wonder how on earth his body can keep up this abuse? I'm hoping that Cady will get married in the 7th book. "
— Carol, 2/13/2014" Audio -- set in WY but in the decay of the population. Not interested. "
— Irene, 2/8/2014" This was my first read by Johnson and was up in the air, but gave it another try with "The Dark Horse" and now I'm a fan. "
