Sheriff Walt Longmire investigates a death by poison in this gripping novel from New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson, the second in the Longmire Mystery Series
When Mari Baroja is found poisoned at the Durant Home for Assisted Living, Sheriff Walt Longmire is drawn into an investigation that reaches fifty years into the mysterious woman’s past. Her connections to Wyoming's Basque community, the luctrative coal-bed methane industry, and the personal life of the previous sheriff lead to a complex web of half-truths and assumed alliances.
Aided by his friend Henry Standing Bear, Deputy Victoria Moretti, and newcomer Santiago Saizarbitoria, Sheriff Longmire must connect the specter of the past to the present to find the killer among them.

A story that was not in the tv series, although I would have enjoyed seeing the war hatchet and the lawyer twins. Another well made story line and movement, however I once again am lost trying to track who is connected to whom.
Next one in the series is in the TBR.
Damn, I like these characters. Which means I'm going to have to read the whole fucking series! Just what I need, more books.
