I pretty much threw myself into DEPTH
OF WINTER, the latest Longmire book, when I got a copy of it. The
best time of the year is when a new Walt Longmire book is released. I was thrilled that this book
returns to the vendetta story arch. Walt Longmire is once again facing
off the man that has caused him and his family lots of grievances over
the years. If you have read the previous book do you already know this
since the man in question kidnapped Walts daughter Cady at the end of
that book. Walt will do anything to get Cady back! The only drawback is
that there was not very much space over for Henry Standing-Bear and
Vic Moretti as Walt used new resources to find Cady in Mexico. Still,
they are there when Walt needs them.
Despite me sulking over the lack of Henry and Vic must I say that this is
one hell of a book. The writing is, as usual, topnotch and I devoured
this book way too fast. It's a thrilling story with Walt going, without
hesitation, head-to-head against a dangerous drug cartel. Will this be
the end of Walt, and is Cady still alive?
DEPTH OF WINTER is a great new
novel by the fabulous Craig Johnson. For longtime fans of the Walt Longmire series, this book
will, without doubt, be a true gem to read. I'm already longing for next
year and the next book. For new readers, who perhaps pick up this
book without having read the previous thirteen may there be some
questions while reading the book. However, I do think that each book
can be read as a stand-alone. Although starting from the very
beginning isn't at all that bad. I envy those that have all fourteen books
to read...
Welcome to Walt Longmire's worst nightmare. In Craig
Johnson's latest mystery, Depth of Winter, an
international hit man and the head of one of the most
vicious drug cartels in Mexico has kidnapped Walt's beloved
daughter, Cady, to auction her off to his worst enemies, of
which there are many. The American government is of limited
help and the Mexican one even less. Walt heads into the
one-hundred-and-ten degree heat of the Northern Mexican
desert alone, one man against an army.
