Mr. Johnson does a great job of intertwining the beliefs and heritage of his characters. It is refreshing to read and feel the steering connection that Henry and Walt share. The dialogue is lively and each character's wit can get the reader to smile as they read.

Although as long as a short novel, this was really a short story. There is limited interaction with most of the characters we have come to appreciate in the longmire universe and it is also heavy on the spirit world mythology. In all a good short read.

Great as always, never disappointed by Walt or Craig Johnson. I have read them all and can't wait for each new one.
