Walt Longmire is the sheriff of Absaroka County in Wyoming, a place where everyone knows your name and probably your business. Walt's been a widower for three...no four years now. His home is worse than a bachelor pad, his deputy Vic is forever giving him a hard time about being overweight, and there's mouse droppings on his cooking utensils.Despite the fact that Walt's life seems to be in a shambles, the people of Absaroka County like Walt, especially his good friend and Cheyenne Indian Henry
A group of friends and I have something that we like to call Forced Book Reads, where we each choose a book and make the whole gang read it. (Or at least they have to if they want the others to read THEIR book.) For my selection, I went with Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig, and now it's my friend Chris's turn, and he chose this.

Young Cody Pritchard is found shot and dumped in with a local farmer's sheep. Don't feel bad for Cody though, he and his buddies violently raped a young Cheyenne girl. They got suspended sentences. Now someone is seeking justice for that crime. Walt Longmire is that type of character that grabs my fickle attention. Overweight, depressed, likes drinking.
I knew in the first four pages that I was going to enjoy this book.It begins with Sheriff Walt Longmire of Absaroka County, Wyoming, sitting in his office, watching the geese fly south. Ruby, dispatcher/receptionist, interrupts his musings to tell him he has a call from Bob Barnes, who wants to report a dead body he discovered when he and his son went to collect their sheep.She leaned against the doorjamb and went to shorthand, Bob Barnes, dead body, line one.I looked at the blinking red light
