Publisher Description

Embarking on his eighth adventure, Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire doesn't have time for cowboys and criminals. His daughter, Cady, is getting married in two weeks, and the wedding locale arrangements have just gone up in smoke signals. Fearing Cady's wrath, Walt and his old friend Henry Standing Bear set out for the Cheyenne Reservation to find a new site for the nuptials. But their expedition ends in horror as they witness a young Crow woman plummeting from Painted Warrior's majestic cliffs. Is it a suicide, or something more sinister? It's not Walt's turf, but he's coerced into the investigation by Lolo Long, the beautiful new tribal police chief.

"Sheriff Walt Longmire is scouting a wedding spot for his daughter when he and Henry Standing Bear see an Indian woman fall to her death from a cliff. Even though he is outside his jurisdiction, Longmire finds himself mentoring the new young police chief on the Cheyenne reservation, running interference between the young cop andthe Feds, and trying to stay out of the way of the wedding planning. Vic Moretti is off on a PR course, but Lolo Long (the new cop) brings a lot of the same attitude to the case and Henry Standing Bear continues to be Longmire's best friend and best investigatory asset. The details about life on the Rez seem to ring true, though i'd be the las to know."

Quotes

  • “Walt continues to be excellent company because he’s always keen to learn something from the strong Indian characters in this series.”

    — New York Times Book Review
  • “The pleasure of the series rests in Walt’s narration, with its laid-back, observant, bemused recounting of events…Solid landscapes, a mélange of fully fleshed characters (familiar and new), drily laconic dialogue, and assorted power struggles—including Walt’s endless war with Rezdawg, Henry’s recalcitrant, falling-apart truck—keep the latest in this rich and satisfying series on engaging course.” 

    — Houston Chronicle
  • “A top-notch tale of complex emotions and misguided treachery…Crow is a superb novel steeped in the culture of the American West.”

    " Walt Longmire, Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, is the main character of seven previous books and a television series on A&E. This addition to the series finds Walt attempting to find a venue for his daughter Cady's imminent wedding when a body falls, literally, at his feet. Although off his turf, he mentors the new police chief of the Cheyenne Reservation, attempts to solve the circumstances surrounding the death, while balancing his role as father of the bride. Most of the continuing characers make an appearance. Funnier than earlier titles in the series, it is wrapped up just a bit too quickly in the rather rushed ending. "

    " as usual, Walt Longmire is a stellar sheriff, a loving father, an all-round good guy. I love this series. I was especially touched by the wedding at the end: Longmire's wishes for his daughter, the bride, were that her hopes and dreams would be fulfilled, something we all so rarely achieve. "

    " I really liked this particular book. Since the story, in part, involves Longmire getting ready to marry off his daughter, the reader gets to see a more personal, tender Longmire. Plus, the mystery is still there. "

    " great entry in the Longmire series. I only just caught on to who the bad guy was about when Walt did. wish Vic had been around. Mr. Johnson seems to be keeping Walt's and Vic's relationship on the fringes. Wish he'd stop that. "
