Critic reviews

"Full of crackling dialogue, this absorbing tale demonstrates that Longmire is still the sheriff in town." ( Publishers Weekly)

love this series

George Guidall does such an excellent job narrating, the writing is funny and heartfelt, no wonder they've made this into a tv series.

Another great performance by Guidall

Great for commuting, walking or just drinking a cup of coffee. I keep choosing Audible over the reading of the book in large part due to the narration of George Guidall. He seems to know the characters and voices each as an individual and not a monotonous drone. This story flashes back to Longmire's Vietnam service as well as modern day Wyoming. Craig Johnson drew me in to both stories.

Another terrific story about our favorite Sheriff

There is one major flaw to this particular Audible book: it is badly edited. George Guidall provides another wonderful performance, but the way the chapters are jammed together--almost without taking a breath between the last sentence of one chapter and the reading of the next chapter. None of the other Longmire books have been spliced together like this, and it really detracts from the enjoyment of the book. But the story and the narration, as always, carry us through those technical rough spots. Craig Johnson has given us another stellar Longmire story.

I Loved It.

I figured the resolution out kind of early, but it was interesting seeing Walt get there. This is so much better than the TV series. Loading the next one, now.

Another great book by Craig Johnson

i liked the story and the narration was wonderful. it is eady to imagine the characters and surroundings. great book.

Full 5 stars narrator rocks it!

This is the second of the Walt Longmire series I have listened to and after watching the Netflix series 3 times I can only applaud! Will continue to enjoy all of the 18 I believe books! If you like a bit of the Wild West mentality and stories even in todays too modern and technological world as I do you will
Enjoy! To say I would love to live in Wyoming having never been to the state due to the series and books should say a lot….,any day! Recommend for sure!!!

Vietnam flashbacks were vivid

This is the fourth installment of the series and, as I’m listening to them in order, it’s now my favorite. The character of Virgil, the man-mountain Indian was particularly interesting, and I suspect will appear in later tales. I also enjoy Walt’s clumsy courtship of Vic. Altogether a fun read.

Two for the Price of One!

This is the fourth Walt Longmire I've read. I continue to be very fond of this series and will definitely keep reading. This particular book offers the chance to see Walt solve a mystery at home in present-day, and looks back at his time in Vietnam, where he solves an old mystery too. It's nice to learn yet another admirable part of Walt's character -- a true patriot.

However, the jumping back and forth between past and present wasn't entirely smooth, and the bit about the crazy huge Native American Virgil went a little overboard, so while good, Johnson can do better.

The narrator is excellent.

Good backstory for the characters, Walt and Bear

This is a good addition to the series, providing some good history for several of the characters, most notably Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear. The appearance of a dead Vietnamese woman in the county sparks flashbacks for the sheriff, and pieces of the story in Vietnam in the late 60s are interwoven with the current story unfolding in Absaroka County in the late 2000s. It does make me readjust my expected age of Longmire, though - I hadn't quite thought of him in his 60s, but the references do make him at least 60 in this book. Not that it matters, but it doesn't quite match the picture in my mind (where I pictured him in his mid to late 50s). I enjoyed the mix of past and present, and the addition of some historical perspective on the characters.

Ghosts of the past have resurfaced

Walt is a complex character with strong feelings of right and wrong. He tries his best in all situations and finds some thing still rush in to remind him of his past. Walt is asked if he believes in ghosts or spirits coming back from the dead. After a long pause he says no. No, because he doesn't believe they ever leave us.

This is a mashup of present and past with a few unsavory characters sprinkled in for a good story. Walt finds strength from his team. They are good people.
