This is the first novel in the Longmire series and the second that I have read after The Dark Horse. I started reading this series after enjoying the Longmire TV show on A&E. Cold Dish is excellent - it really paints a picture of life in Wyoming including the mountains, rivers, and nature along with the people that inhabit this sparse land - the ranchers, Native Americans, and of course the lawmen. Parts of this novel were used for one of the episodes of the Longmire series. It involves the murders of some young men who were convicted of a brutal rape of a young native american girl with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. However, the plot of the novel and the TV show differs very dramatically. The ending of the book was a total surprise -- I really was not expecting who the shooter turned out to be in the novel. Overall, I really enjoyed this one and will be reading others in the series.
