Walt Longmire
review 1: Mostly enjoyed this one although the idea that Walt can successfully go undercover in a small town, in the county next door is pretty ludicrous. This is a break from most of the supporting cast. Only Dog and Henry really show up for any length of time. Johnson's horse knowledge is pretty solid but Morgans are not draft horses (although they have some draft in them) and thinking that would be a good horse to carry a big guy like Walt is just...wrong. Classic (or Government) Morgans are generally small and stocky. Show Morgans are taller and finer-boned and also not good choices. I'll get off my hobby horse now :) Otherwise enjoyable. On to book 6!
review 2: A woman has confessed to shooting her husband and burning down the house around him; Walt is nonetheless
... moreconvinced that she's innocent, and so he goes undercover in the local small town to find out what really happened. I liked this one much better than I liked the previous few books in the series - there were some nice slashy appearances from Henry, the introduction of a minor character who I loved (and who of course died by the end, sigh), and a very dramatic climax, taking place on a empty plain during a snowstorm, complete with Walt being drugged, shot, having a broken foot, needing to rescue a small child and tame a wild horse. Drama! less
