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)

Super \

Any additional comments?

Craig Johnson is an excellent author, George Guidall is a fantastic reader. Walt Longmire is an amazing character. This book starts with a grave and ends with a grave. In between there is a great deal of action beginning with a murder - maybe?. This book has some mysticism, as did the first book. There are exceptionally well drawn characters that you just cannot forget. An old love story is unfolded during the book. Murder. love, humor, mysticism, great plot and super characters - what is not to like. If you have not started the Walt Longmire series, I highly recommend it. To top it all off, the reader is perfect for the book. He is amazing!

Excellent Author

Great "who dunnit" book - not obvious like most.

The characters of this series are detailed and likable.

Cannot go wrong with George Guidall. He is by far my favorite narrator.

Another great story!

The story, the characters, and marvelous dry humor, combine to make this a wonderful addition to the series. Thank you Craig, Walt, and George.

I wish I knew his books existed a long time ago.

The second book is as good as the first. I love all the characters and the narration is beyond perfect

Thoroughly enjoyable

Excellent narrator. The writer conveys a real feeling of connection between the characters. I particularly love the relationship between Longmire and Standing Bear. As much as I enjoy the TV series, the books (as usual) are so much more enjoyable!!

Entertaining and well-read

I have listened to one or two others of the Walt Longmire series and I enjoyed this one very much. A lot happens quickly in the plot and I had to rewind a few times but that was a minor inconvenience. It's a story with some sad and tragic happenings but also some wonderfully strong characters who form strong bonds. The humor runs toward dry and sometimes absurd, not mean, but pointing out our human traits and weaknesses, especially the banter between old friends and among the people who work together at the police department and who frequent the local diner.

Walt Longmire Rocks!

Where does Death Without Company rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I truely enjoy listening to these books. Walt Longmire is such a great character. He is wise, funny, and surprisingly complex. The narrator does a great job too.

Better than the show

A few differences but the long format, sparkling prose and western metaphors make this book even more satisfying.
