A Mysterious Review of …
A Serpent's Tooth by Craig Johnson. A Walt Longmire Mystery.
Review summary: The topical issues of the region are nicely integrated here, but almost come across as too localized. Part of the reason to read any of the books in this series is to be a part of the setting, and yet this book seems not so inviting to outsiders. Still, the characters are appealing and the plot is suspenseful and well developed, and all things considered, this is a mystery well worth reading. (Click here for text of full review.)

Publisher synopsis: It's homecoming in Absaroka County, but the football and festivities are interrupted when a homeless boy wanders into town. A Mormon "lost boy", Cord Lynear is searching for his missing mother but clues are scarce. Longmire and his companions, feisty deputy Victoria Moretti and longtime friend Henry Standing Bear, embark on a high plains scavenger hunt in hopes of reuniting mother and son. The trail leads them to an interstate polygamy group that's presiding over a stockpile of weapons and harboring a vicious vendetta.
