Any Other Name (#10), by Craig Johnson (2015)
I picked up a Walt Longmire mystery because we have been watching Longmire on CD for the past few weeks. I wanted to see what the books were like.
Walt Longmire is the Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming. This novel takes place in late December. His daughter, Cady, is in Philadelphia and is about to give birth. She expects her father to be with he when the baby is born. He plans to be there, but first he agrees to look into the suicide of Gerald Holman, a fellow law enforcement in an adjacent county. Gerald was a by-the-book officer and his suicide seems suspicious.
Before Gerald died, he was investigating cold cases involving missing women. Walt wonders if the cases are related. His investigation takes him into South Dakota, and it seems that someone isn’t happy that the missing women are being tracked down.
While he is on the case, Cady is trying to get her father to Philadelphia before her baby arrives.
This was a quick fun read. Nothing heavy, but the writing was good and I will likely pick up some other Longmire mysteries ~ starting at the beginning. This was mystery #10, and made references to occurrences in previous books in the series.
