Craig Johnson's 'A Serpent's Tooth, a Walt Longmire Mystery' is the 9th
in the popular series about Wyoming Sheriff Longmire. The A&E TV series
'Longmire' is based on these books, so fans of the TV series will want to
read the books too. I recommend starting with the first in the book
series, 'The Cold Dish', not only because it sets up the contemporary
western setting and the characters, but also because the earlier books
are a little stronger than this one. In 'Serpent's Tooth', Walt and his
deputy, the beautiful Victoria Moretti, and his best friend, Henry
Standing Bear, go on the search for the family of a 15 year old Mormon
'lost boy' who has wandered into Absaroka County. The plot meanders and
ambles through a wide swath of the wild western landscape of Wyoming and
nearby states, encounters a bevy of independent, ornery and downright
evil characters, uncovers CIA and other fairly incredible plots and
features quite a lot of heavy fire from a well-armed group of good guys
and bad guys. I love the TV series and enjoy the books, but had to give
this outing only 3 stars out of 5 on my Goodreads list. Still, for fans, the series of books is highly recommended.
