Description

Walt doubts a confession of murder in this novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Western Star

Fans of Ace Atkins, Nevada Barr and Robert B. Parker will love The Dark Horse is the fifth installment in New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson's Longmire Mystery Series, the basis for LONGMIRE, the hit Netflix original drama series. Wade Barsad, a man with a dubious past and a gift for making enemies, burned his wife Mary's horses in their barn; in retribution, she shot him in the head six times, or so the story goes. But Sheriff Walt Longmire doesn't believe Mary's confession and is determined to dig deeper. Unpinning his star to pose as an insurance investigator, Walt visits the Barsad ranch and discovers that everyone in town--including a beautiful Guetemalan bartender and a rancher with a taste for liquor--had a reason for wanting Wade dead.

    Good as always. A little too wordy and descriptive, but pleasurable to read. Still not sure what the “kites” are.

  • Great story

    Craig Johnson nails it again with a good literary work of art, an absorbing story, and a creative way of bringing the two together. Well done!

    My favorite Longmire book so far, but I don't think a meadowlark would ever be seen sitting on a sign in front of a hospital in town.

    Craig Johnson combines wit, humor, cowboy common sense and good triumphs over evil in every one of his books. They just keep getting better. His character development is wonderful. Can't wait to read the next book in this series!
