Westerns-Book Riot 2018 Read Harder Challenge Update

The Cold Dish

(Walt Longmire Mystery, bk. 1)

Craig Johnson


Well it finally happened. I'm usually "the book is better than the movie/TV series" type of person but I finally found a book that I liked less than the TV series. To be fair, it took me a couple of episodes to really get into the Netflix Longmire series but then I was hooked by the complex characters and the gorgeous setting. The Cold Dish introduced me to a Walt Longmire I didn't recognize and didn't want to get to know. Also Johnson's writing was at times hard to follow. When reading paragraphs with dialogue, I had to go back several times to try to figure out which character was talking. At first I thought it was just me but multiple reviewers on Goodreads and Amazon had the same problem with the dialogue.
