Sheriff Walt Longmire's search for a missing woman, Sarah
Tisdale, leads him to a Mormon polygamy group who are
stockpiling weapons for the end of days. They claim to
never have heard of Sarah but her fifteen year old son says
otherwise. Clues are scarce as everyone has something to
hide. There's more to this case than Longmire realizes and
scratching away the layers to this mystery only leaves him
with more questions.
A SERPENT'S TOOTH by Craig Johnson is the ninth book in
the Walt Longmire Mystery series and they continue to
get
better with each book. Johnson combines the spirit of a
great western and the suspense of police investigations
with perfect balance, creating a fast paced mystery. It's
the unexpected direction the investigation takes that sets
this mystery above the many others that explore the
dangerous territory of cults. Even with these new
developments, Longmire never loses sight of his goal to
find Sarah Tisdale and help her son. His dedication to his
job and his values make Longmire an honorable character,
but it's his insight into humanity that makes him one of
the best modern detectives to in the mystery genre.
The characters are complex and richly detailed. They're the
type I'd love to have a beer with. None fall into the
clichés that is too common in the mystery genre. Longmire
is a tough, western sheriff, but he's funny. His humor is
spot on every time. Vic is an aggressive, female detective
but it's a natural extension of her personality rather than
a woman who is trying to prove herself in a man's world.
Henry Standing Bear mixes Native American spiritualism with
a dry, understated wit. Even secondary characters are well-
defined and rounded. This complexity creates a richly
imagined world that beautifully captures the timeless
quality of the West. The setting and the characters all
feel like they existed before the story began and they'll
keep existing after the final page.
A SERPENT'S TOOTH by Craig Johnson is a fast-paced,
twisting mystery that will keep you guessing until the very
end. I love this series and highly recommend it.
It’s homecoming in Absaroka County, but the football and
festivities are interrupted when a homeless boy wanders
into town. A Mormon “lost boy,” Cord Lynear is searching
for his missing mother but clues are scarce. Longmire and
his companions, feisty deputy Victoria Moretti and longtime
friend Henry Standing Bear, embark on a high plains
scavenger hunt in hopes of reuniting mother and son. The
trail leads them to an interstate polygamy group that’s
presiding over a stockpile of weapons and harboring a
vicious vendetta
