Ninth in the Walt Longmire series, and if you haven't read them, please start from the beginning...they're all so good. In this book, we start with a local elderly woman telling Walt how angels are doing her household chores. The angel turns into a homeless 15-year-old who's been kicked out of his polygamist cult. The search for his mother turns up some definite oddities, segues into rough territory and ends explosively. I read it in one gulp. Johnson can really set a scene, there's great dialog, and of course the familiar characters. That said I do wonder how Longmire can get away with not calling any other agency in on what really shouldn't be his pitch. Continually losing his prisoner was amusing, but didn't put him in a good light. And I thought the CIA rancher was a stretch, seemed a bit convenient to have her suddenly enter the story. Still, I like that Johnson has each book be sort of self-contained and they all have a little different feel to them.
