The Cold Dish Audiobook

" A really good read, a mystery and love story and beautiful writing about living in modern day Wyoming country side. Johnson is a professional writer, a great story teller, and the narration is superb. "

" I really liked this book. It was his first effort and a subject he knows well. Humorous asides, and, had me wondering 'who did it' to the very end. Hey, my living in 'another square state' (CO) didn't hurt. I knew many of the places he talked about. Hell, I think I was even married in Wyoming once. "

" It was interesting, but it wasn't great. "

" Well written. I enjoyed reading his writing. I know my boys in class who like CJ Box, Wyoming, and wilderness books will like this series, too. "

" Pretty good but a bit slow moving. Interesting protagonists (Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear. Victims not so well developed or interesting. "

" Loved this book and I am not a mystery or suspense reader. Craig Johnson alternated between a wicked sense of humor and a gentle unfolding of a mystery that draws you in like a fire on a cold winter day. "

" This was a great and sometimes chilling read. And it did not end at all the way I expected. The Native American mystic along with the raw Wyoming weather and Big Sky mentality created a rich story telling atmosphere. I've been to Wyoming once, only for a short time. What I briefly saw was easily recreated in Johnson's book. Or at least where my imagination could have taken me while in Wyoming. A real page turner with excellent character development. Look forward to reading another of Craig Johnson's novels. "

" Interesting book. OK book, but not a great book. Murder mystery with an OK ending. I'm going to read one more in the series, and if it's not good I'm giving up on the rest of them. "

" Very good read. Ran a very quick 355 pages. I did not guess the surprise ending which was nice to have a twist to the ending I did not see coming !! I Plan to read the other 6 "Walt Longmire mysteries" in the near future. I liked it- Try it !! "

" Man, I really wish Henry Standing Bear had his own series. "

" Fun & easy, summer reading. The writing is a bit clumsy (truly ironic coming from me, but it is so) but the characters are eminently loveable and truly come to life. "

" A great series of mysteries set in Wyoming. I discovered this series shortly before the television show began airing on A&E. I love the strength and depth of the characters and the stories are terrific. "

" Great book - wonderful characters. I have to watch "Longmire" on A&E now just to see if they've captured all the nuance. "

" I loved the beautiful descriptions, the great banter among the characters, and Walt Longmire. Good stuff! "

" Best mystery series in a long time. Eloquent and witty. I was expecting dimestore Louis L'amour. Wonderful surprise. "

" Well-written mystery with good characters. I look forward to next book. "

" Wonderful modern-day Western. Great series! Can't wait to finish the last few. "

" The writing was so witty and fun to read. The ending was amazing. Authors often lose me at the end of a novel. They usually cannot deliver on all of the promises made throughout the book. This was not the case here. Fabulous book. "

" Good mystery with excellent locale. "

" A great first novel. I hope he writes more soon! "

" Started this series due to the Longmire TV series. I am not a fan of first person narratives but this book just reeled me in. Complex characters, well plotted...just a doggone good read... "

" I liked this cowboy mystery set in Wyoming. The characters felt like real people. "

" Great character. Enjoyed this book so much. "

" this was sooooo good! "

" This is no ordinary change of pace mystery story. This is a great book, and the second I've read in the Walt Longmire series (alas, the first book I read wasn't in sequence; now I am going to read the rest in order). You can read summaries written by others, but by all means read the book. "

" Pretty good mystery filled with great scenery and characters. If you like the West and it's mythos you will definitely enjoy the first in a popular series. "

" I'm always looking for new series to start and I believe this one has a lot of promise. Great character development! The mystery was so good I don't want to say much about it as not to risk spoiling it. I didn't care for the use of profanity. "

" Wish I'd read this 'first' book first. Third book was not good intro - and kinda specialized, with all the Vietnam recollection stuff. "

" I liked the characters. I was an entertaining read. "

" Good mystery on to book two... "
