Another very good Walt Longmire book. As always the writing and narration are wonderful. The vein of this one was a bit different than the previous books, focusing a lot more on the spiritual and some of the more paranormal aspects previous books have more lightly touched on. Overall very enjoyable. The action gets going right away and keeps on moving.

Walt Longmeyer's tenacity

When Walt finally gets the bad guy.

George, as always, did a magnificent job. Rather than just reading, he acts.

Hallucinations in the Snow. Walt battles his own demons.

I prefer a little more reality as opposed to the supernatural turn . This was still a good read, but i would like less hallucinations.

This is the best so for (I'm reading in order) Very clever references to Dante's Inferno.

Mild: Spoilers ahead:

It's hard to know what to say about what seems like the strangest of the Longmire mysteries so far. It is one part Western lawman adventure, one part meditation on mortality, and one part ghost story. The previous books have laid some of the ground work for what unfolds in "Hell is Empty." I'm not sure the ghost story element would have worked otherwise. I found it compelling. Though I don't know how much mileage other readers might get out of it. In a different book, perhaps a longer book, it might have even worked better.

Johnson's command of the imagery of Wyoming and his understanding of his characters gives the book tremendous narrative weight. Guidall's voice somehow makes it all the more real. I don't know if this is my favorite in the series but it will be high on my list.

I stayed up late reading this. author has tremendous insight into human growth and loss. I loved this story.

Suspense. Cunning. Determination.
The Longmire books are all very good but this one is an immediate re-read later! I hope Johnson has found his rhythm because I can't wait to start tge next one!

Moving and incredible,best of the series so far. I plan to the next book after dinner.

I enjoyed the story immensely, though I am not prone to Westerns. Narrator superlative. Recommended

this is not your typical Walt Longmeijer book. It has the suspense, the tense moments, humor and fun characters. This book though has more focus on Walt and the influence of Indian Lore. Johnson has pulled a complicated story together in an entertaining way that makes it hard to put the book down.

An immensely personal journey for Walt similar to the Dante's Inferno he's recalling along the way. George Guidall never disappoints and does an excellent job of bringing Hector's character to life in this book. I was especially impressed with the epilogue, so often the action ends and we assume the hero rides into the sunset(it is a western seeing after all) but this offered a look at the fallout from such an adventure.
