North Branch’s Mystery Book Discussion selection for February is The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson, the first in the Walt Longmire Mystery series. The popular Netflix series Longmire is based on these books. Walt Longmire is the snarky but loveable sheriff of the fictional Absaroka County in Wyoming and is on the verge of retirement. As you might expect, things don’t go as planned and he soon finds himself in charge of a murder investigation. The victim is one of a group of four young men charged with a heinous crime - but let off easy - two years earlier and it appears that the lives of the remaining three boys are at risk. Johnson populates his story with memorable characters, writes with humor and vivid detail, and his love for the American west and Wyoming shines through. Fans of Clint Eastwood films would particularly enjoy this book and series.
