Absolutely outstanding ... a must read

I am a big fan of the Longmire mysteries and this is my second time listening to Hell is Empty. The story is typical Longmire with great characters, an interesting plot with lots of imagery, and great dialog. Craig Johnson has done it again with this novel. One of my all time favorites and the performance by George Guidall brings the story to life and is very easy to listen to. I highly recommend Hell is Empty and all of the other Longmire novels!

Amazing

This is a very intense book dealing with a rather horrific event. It centers more about Walt than any of the others I have listened to and that is good. Not that I don't like the other characters. Far from it. But this is Walt, pushing himself beyond his limits. We learn more and more about the Indian beliefs and values. Highly recommend BUT you must follow the order of publication.

LOVE LONGMIRE

Would you listen to Hell Is Empty again? Why?

yes,I will listen to the entire set once I finish the last 2 books. Love the writing and the narrator, LOVE Longmire

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to the first 7 books and George Guidall captures Walt and makes him come alive. Just Awesome

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

These books always make me laugh out loud, not just a chuckle, but out and out laugh. Craig Johnson has a great sense of humor

Any additional comments?

I'm glad I didn't let some of the negative reviews of this book stop me from downloading this one. I loved it as much as the others. I happen to like the thoughts that go through Walt Longmires mind. Its part of the humor.

Please keep writing more Walt Longmire books

Best of the set for me.

Perfectly written and read. All the classic struggles are here but the elements make the difference in this one. Keep it up Mr. Johnson

A departure from the normal Longmire

This book is focused on Longmire's perilous pursuit of criminals in the mountains during a snowstorm. This is not a who-done-it; but an exploration of Longmire's determination and psyche. You can feel the cold and danger.

Read in summer = will give you shivers

I listened to this book in August and got chills during the part where Walt almost freezes to death in a blizzard. Engrossing story and an excellent narrator; Walt just seemed a little too much "Rambo" when he attempted to track down escaped killers without help but the strong characters are worth the read.
