A terrific first novel and bodes well for the continuing series. I enjoyed all the characters, especially Walt's sidekicks - Henry (who is wise, witty and deadly) and Vic (who is foul-mouthed, funny and very good at her job). Walt Longmire is an excellent main character as sheriff - flawed but trustworthy - but this novel would not be as good if all the supporting characters weren't so strong. The former sheriff, the sheriff's office manager, the diner owner...the whole crew. They're all great. If you have any knowledge of the out of doors, you'll appreciate the care with which Johnson describes the terrain, the weather, the wildlife and the gear one needs to survive in it. Highly recommended.
