The Cold Dish: Walt Longmire #1 /
Johnson, Craig, 1961-
The Cold Dish: Walt Longmire #1 / Walt Longmire Craig Johnson. - 354 pages 24 cm. - Walt Longmire, 1 .
The Cold Dish, a multilayered whodunit mystery, stands out in its genre. Shades of racism, mysticism, and revenge give the novel nuance; dead-on dialogue, good-natured humor, and flesh-and-blood characters, including the foul-mouthed deputy Victorian "Vic" Moretti, give it life. Johnson, who lives in Ucross, Wyoming, knows the Western landscape well, and creates stunning and violent scenes (including a raging blizzard) of the Rocky Mountains. Only The Philadelphia Inquirer faulted the novels roughness and comparatively immature prose. The other critics look forward to reading more from Johnsons powerful voice and reconnecting with his eccentric mélange of characters.
