About this ebook
Itâs holiday season in Absaroka County and Sheriff Walt Longmire gets personal in this delightful collection of four short stories from New York Timesâbestselling author Craig Johnson.
The hit drama Longmire is now streaming on Paramount+
Full of Longmireâs dry wit and good heart, Christmas in Absaroka County is a holiday must-have for every Longmire and Craig Johnson fan, and it also includes the first chapter of The Cold Dish, the first novel in the Longmire Mystery Series.
Readers glimpse a softer side of Sheriff Walt Longmire as he grapples with the death of his wife, Martha, and his sometimes turbulent but ever-loving relationship with his daughter, Cady. In these four storiesââMinisterial Aid,â âSlick-Tongued Devil,â âToys for Tots,â and âUnbalancedâ (three of which have been sent to Johnsonâs fans over the years in the authorâs âPost-itâ e-mails)âWalt is alternately at his best and his worst. He helps a somewhat delusional elderly victim of domestic abuse while sporting a bathrobe and a mean hangover on New Yearâs Day. Heâs sidelined by grief when his wifeâs obituary reappears in the paper and thereâs an unexpected knock on his door two days before Christmas. He strives to help even those who donât want it when he picks up a young female hitchhiker, and heâs forced into some last-minute Christmas shopping by the Greatest Legal Mind of Our Time, during which he might just end up saving a young Navy chaplainâs Christmas.

Great start, but the story ended very abruptly w/o any real plot. Very short! Incomplete download? Waste of $12!

Excellent writing: Character development, vocabulary, vivid description of setting and characters, well-composed grammar and dialogue. An enjoyable read from a fascinating American writer!

Nice to read about Walt's home life, his wife. Totally funny to picture him as Jesus Christ
