It wouldn't seem that unusual for someone to die at the Durant Assisted Living facility. However, when Mari Barojola passes away, the former sheriff, Lucian, insists that an autopsy be performed. He is sure that the old woman was murdered. Sheriff Walt Longmire is somewhat hesitant to trust the old lawman's instincts and his life is complicated enough with his daughter coming home for Christmas, an interesting woman in town and an interview with a possible new deputy. As he digs further into Mari's past, he also realizes that someone is trying to either bury secrets of the past or dig them up!
This is the second Craig Johnson book featuring Walt Longmire. I found it to be just as wonderful as the first one. I love his descriptions. The Wyoming mount ans and the people who live there come alive with Johnson's careful prose. His characters are realistic and lovable. The action is fast and furious, plenty of violence but still characters with a heart. Once again, I can't wait to start the next book in this series.
Rating - 5 stars
