By Craig Johnson

Sheriff Walt Longmire investigates a rancher's death on the site of a dinosaur fossil discovery in this mystery from New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson The hit drama Longmire is now streaming on Paramount+ When Jen, the largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found surfaces in Sherriff Walt Longmire’s jurisdiction, it appears to be a windfall for the High Plains Dinosaur Museum—until Danny Lone Elk, the Cheyenne rancher on whose property the remains were discovered, turns up dead, floating face down in a turtle pond. With millions of dollars at stake, a number of groups step forward to claim her, including Danny’s family, the tribe, and the federal government. As Wyoming’s Acting Deputy Attorney and a cadre of FBI officers descend on the town, Walt is determined to find out who would benefit from Danny’s death, enlisting old friends Lucian Connolly and Omar Rhoades, along with Dog and best friend Henry Standing Bear, to trawl the vast Lone Elk ranch looking for answers to a sixty-five-million-year-old cold case that’s heating up fast.

What a great way to ring out the year. After a half day at work on New Years Eve, I decided to take the rest of the day off and spend what was left of my birthday hanging out with hubby and lazing around to finish a book by one of my fave authors. I think this was one of my fave books in the series. If I could have given it 4.5stars I probably would have but I am feeling especially generous this morning because it was such a good story.

I've said this before and will continue to say it until it isn't so, the books are so much funnier than the tv show was. Lastly, without getting into any spoilers, I am looking forward to see what happens in the next book. I hope it goes the way I'm thinking it will.
