Book Review of Junkyard Dogs (Walt Longmire, Bk 6)

Junkyard Dogs (Walt Longmire, Bk 6)

I've been reading (or in some cases, listening to the Audio CD version where George Guidell reads to me) Craig Johnson's Longmire series in order. So far, Junkyard Dogs has been the most fun of all the books in this series. Much as Dana Stabenow did with Breakup, the author realizes that a serious series sometimes needs a lighter touch as a change of pace and Craig certainly did that with this book.

We have a family who has run a local junkyard for years. Developers are trying to convince local zoning to change the rules and force them out. The owners are resistant they've moved once before, and in both cases, they were there first! (Oh, and might there be ANOTHER reason or two why the family doesn't want to leave their current location? And might there be closer ties to the junkyard family and the developers than is apparent at first glance?)

Not going to say too much just going to pat author Craig Johnson on the back, offer to buy him a Ranier Beer, pass on my highest recommendations to the next potential reader, and move on to the next book.

RATING: 5 stars.
