"Craig Johnson's mystery novels featuring Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire is my favorite new series. Johnson was a police officer and has a good sense of humor. He creates sympathetic characters and handles suspense well. Longmire is a likeable character and the supporting cast are a good bunch. "
— John (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Johnson has continued a series that should become a ‘must’ read.”
— Denver Post -
“Johnson delivers great storytelling in an intelligent mystery.”
— The Oregonian -
“Walt and his idiosyncratic crew are terrific company—droll, sassy, and surprisingly tenderhearted.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review) -
“Longmire, the aging, kindly, but tenacious sheriff of Wyoming’s Absaroka County…once again finds himself involved in a murder case with tentacles reaching deep into the fabric of daily life in his insular mountain community…Johnson combines a vivid sense of the dailiness of life…with a sure-handed touch for jolting both his characters and his readers out of their comfort zones and deep into harm’s way. It’s hard to ask for more in a literary mystery.”
— Booklist (starred review)

" As a fan of the TV series on A&E I wanted to read the source of the remarkable characters I came to love. In Johnson's hands Walt Longmire is much more humorous and he & Henry together are a hoot. Johnson's prose is clean & spare and very readable. I'm a fan. "

" Good book with a lot of background character on Lucian the former Sheriff. This had a lot going for it. Loved it. "
— Fred, 2/15/2014 -
" Good follow up to Cold Dish "
— William, 2/12/2014 -
" If you like mysteries and westerns this is a great option. Compelling characters, unexpected twists, and wonderfully dry humor. Days later and I'm still thinking about Walt, Henry, and Vic. "
— Brandon, 2/8/2014 -
" second book in this series...really like them! The characters develop individually and in relationship to each other in each of the books. If you like mysteries with a bit more depth and stories about the west, you'll like this series. "
— Joanne, 1/29/2014 -

— Lisa, 12/24/2013 -
" Great characters, some nice twists, and a real feel for the Wyoming setting. I thought this book was better than the first. "
— Jim, 12/12/2013 -
" I thought Walt was losing his touch at first. Great story. Loved the last 100 pages when it all went into FF. "
— Donna, 12/12/2013 -
" This, the second book in a series, is a well-written whodunit centered on the Basque sheepherders who play an important role in the Wyoming and Nevada regions of the West. I'm always eager to revisit Johnson's ensemble of quirky but appealing characters, both law enforcement and townspeople. "
— Kay, 12/9/2013 -
" Love Love Love this series. Fantastic characters, great pace and story. I laugh , tense up, laugh again. If you like sarcastic characters, you will love this series. Audible is the best way to enjoy these in my opinion, "
— Cynthia, 12/6/2013 -
" I liked this book very much. Although grim in places, the interactions between the characters had me barking with laughter. The mystery was neither too obvious nor too obscured. Just about right. I am enjoying this series and am looking forward to the next book. "
— James, 11/16/2013 -
" This novel is structured as a mystery centered around Sheriff Walt Longmire of Durant, Wyoming. However, the plot seems somewhat secondary to the social issues of abuse, discrimination, and aging along with a nod to the universal themes of friendship, family, and greed. "
— Terry, 6/9/2013 -
" This is the second in the series. "
— Sue, 2/9/2013 -
" I think I part way love these books because I used to live in Sheridan, Wyo (kind of the setting for the books, but Johnson creates a fictional Wyoming county) and I feel connected to the books that way. A good mystery regardless of my connection to the setting. "
— kenpen, 1/11/2013 -
" Wow...this is one of the better series of books I've read. Great characters, interesting mysteries and just enough supernatural to make me smile. "
— Lizziekate, 12/7/2012 -
" Another great read from Craig Johnson with a twist at the end. I love the mix of delicate, serious situations with Mr. Johnson's humor thrown in and the suspense. Also, the ongoing relationship with Sheriff Longmire & Henry is very entertaining. "
— Christe, 7/12/2012 -
" This is the second book in the series and much better than the first. Worth reading if you like interesting characters and dialogue. There's also a humorous stakeout scene in the hospital. Longmire isn't your typical Western lawman. "
— Scout, 12/12/2011 -
" I just love these stories. I enjoy each and every one of the characters and the man reading these is excellent. Great books. "

— Johanna, 3/12/2011 -
" second book in the series. It's hard to not like the main character. there is an open space feel to the story. Vic is something else. Should be read in order. "
— Hrn1947, 2/15/2011 -
" Mr. Johnson does near-death and struggling scenes to perfection. Even though I know there are more books in the series, so he will live, I was totally absorbed and worried. I thought this book was even better than his first. A great story with great characters. Thank you Craig Johnson. "
— Janice, 1/23/2011 -

— Vickie, 12/20/2010 -
