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)

Death Without Company: A Walt Longmire Mystery

A very good story with a great performance. The author has an easy story-telling ability that does not get you too amped up but keeps your interest in a very enjoyable story. The fights and chases are not too long and not too short. I look forward to another Walt Longmire Mystery.

Too many stories interwoven in the book.

Very good of course. Love the dry cowboy wit of Mr. Johnson. But the many interwoven stories were difficult to keep up with in this book of his. Overall, still heads and tails above other authors and still a favorite.

Another great Book by Craig Johnson

I look forward to each new book that Craig Johnson writes. I love the dry western humor and interesting characters.

What a wonderful find!

On the face of it, the book didn't seem like my kind of mystery. Sherrif in Wyoming? Sounded a bit like a Tony Hillerman book. Tony Hillerman's books are good, don't get me wrong, but this book is really special. The characters are human and very real, not stereotypes, the plot unfolds naturally, the dialog is right on. Nice, dry humor (just my style). And there is a real, plausible mystery at the heart of the story. George Guidall, the narrator, reads everything with just the right touch of irony. I can't recommend this book enough.

Difficult listen

The Longmire books are so well written. I suspect this book would have been easier to read than listen to because the plot and cast of characters is complex, and, for me, hard to follow using auditory senses only. Otherwise, I would have awarded it more stars.

great book

Great book. Enjoyed the characters (except the Maggy thing got boring --legs, lips and lipstick - her lines struck me as Harlequin Romance for Men) but it was a great plot. Kept my attention and I plan to get the others in the series.

Can't deal with the narrator

I usually love George Guidall's narration--older, avuncular sounding-- but I got half way through this great book and couldn't deal with his female voices sounding so much alike. Just too grating. Sorry to say I just checked and Guidall does all of Craig Johnson's books.

Great Discovery

I have listened to audiobooks a lot over the past twenty years. The tough part is finding the books. With this book I've found many books, the whole Longmire series. It's very well written. The plot unfolds very well, Craig can write with extremely descriptive language, and as a bonus, my favorite narrator does the whole series.

Love the Longmire series

I have listened to two others in the Longmire series and really enjoyed them all. It is not the kind of book I would sit down and read through but great for listening. I also like the television series!
