Critic reviews

"Johnson combines a vivid sense of the dailiness of life--and the way human relationships take root in that dailiness--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)

PERFECT BLEND OF VOICE & STORY & CHARACTER

I listen to an awful lot of books. When I saw the latest Longmire mystery was published, I looked it up and am so glad I started with this series at the beginning. I am totally entranced with Walt Longmire's character as interpreted by George Guidall. I saw an episode of a TV show based on the series and they got it ALL WRONG. I toil in those fields myself, and I can't believe producers didn't study Guidall's work and realize that he had created the guy who should star in the show--screenwriters should also have paid attention to Longmire's fabulous sense of humor. Let alone The Cheyenne Nation, Ruby, Vic, the whole crowd is just wonderful to listen to. Previously I knew next to nothing about the "new" West--now at least I have a starting point to learn more.I'm listening to As The Crow Flies now--and it's as great as the others.

Longmeier ! Best western Sheriff ever.

Craig Johnson's Walt Longmeier has the voice of the West, whether you're in Wyoming or New Mexico. He captures the voice of the people.

More than a Mystery - this is art

I love this series and I'm pacing myself. I honestly wish they were longer. Guidall is the perfect voice for these characters that call the Powder River home.

Surprisingly good book

As I'd never before read anything by this author, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the book. Good story, good narrator - I hope there are more to come.

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover... it's so Much Better

I avoided this series for the longest time based on the cover alone. I do not care for the art work and am guilty of judging the books by the covers.

I'm glad I finally broke down and gave it a try. Totally worth a credit if you like murder mysteries and enjoy or appreciate small town life. The series is set next to a Native American reservation. The sheriffs best friend is a Native American war hero. There some mystic throughout the story.

The author has written great characters that I felt almost came to life as I listened to the narration. George Guidall is a very good storyteller. After the first book, I could not wait to listen to the second in the series just so I could have more of the characters I came to love.

Unexpectedly excellent

I was skeptical about a series that spawned a popular TV show, as I gave up on TV a long time ago; but I was very happily surprised at how much I'm loving the Longmire series. Very well written with the end always a surprise; but most importantly, all of the parts of the story where many authors would lazily take short cuts that lead to simple-minded and gratuitously gruesome storylines, Johnson masterfully and artfully writes the drama and tragedy in his tales as impprtant enhancements to the story without the unnecessary shock value that detracts from good storytelling. And, as always, George Guidall is perfection.
