Christmas in Absaroka County: Walt Longmire Christmas Stories (A Penguin Special) | Craig Johnson
2 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Its holiday season in Absaroka County and Sheriff Walt Longmire gets personal in this delightful collection of four short stories from New York Timesbestselling author Craig Johnson. Full of Longmires 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 storiesMinisterial Aid, Slick-Tongued Devil, Toys for Tots, and Unbalanced (three of which have been sent to Johnsons fans over the years in the authors Post-it e-mails)Walt 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 Years Day. Hes sidelined by grief when his wifes obituary reappears in the paper and theres an unexpected knock on his door two days before Christmas. He strives to help even those who dont want it when he picks up a young female hitchhiker, and hes 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 chaplains Christmas.

Christmas contains 4 short stories and Messenger is a single short story in the Walt Longmire series. These were great to remind me that I love this series and need to pick it back up in the new year. #SeriesLove2023

I've watched this show, but this is the first book I've read in this series. This collection has 4 short stories in it, each uniquely different, and showcasing Walt's interesting personality. 😁 I may have to give the first one in the series a try now. Walt's character is very entertaining.
