I actually won this set at Longmire Days 2017 at the Conversation with Craig Johnson and Robert Taylor in the Johnson County Public Library. I answered the last trivia question correctly! The question? In the books, what is the number of Lucians' room in the Durant Home for Assisted Living? 32. Craig and Robert signed the box.
I have read all of the Longmire Mysteries and I rate them all 5 stars. Craig Johnson's research is excellent and his first person story telling is excellent and after watching the Longmire TV series I can "hear" Robert Taylor's voice as I'm reading (or re-reading) . One of my favorite authors and 2nd favorite book character.
