Sheriff Longmire investigates when his instincts tell him something isn't right about a prisoner accused of killing her husband. Wade Barsad, a man with a dubious past, locked his wife's horses in their barn and burned the animals alive. In return, Mary shot Wade in the head six times - or so the story goes.

I thought about how we tilled and cultivated the land, planted trees on it, fenced it, built houses on it, and did...

When Mary Barstad is brought in and he reads her file, his interest is peaked. She had confessed to shooting her husband, Wade, with .22 rifle, understan...
I always enjoy this series, especially on audio, where the narration of George Guidall fits Sheriff Walt Longmire's character to a tee.
