Is this story published by a different title?

I just bought this book on sale. As I listen, I realize I have heard it before. However, it didn’t appear as “in your library “ on the sale listing. Well, looks like I bought this same book twice. Hum…?

New to this author

George Guidall's narration is what made this book for me. I was multi-tasking while listening, so I lost the thread a little with various bad guys. It's not a genre I typically read, but I may come back to the Walt Longmire series.

A+ for the characters; C for believability

Review of the Audible edition. I love this series. The characterizations feel true to the human condition. I also love the Native American perspectives (In this book, Henry, identifies himself as an Indian. He thinks “Native American” doesn’t reflect how the Indians think of themselves.)

What does drive me crazy - in all fiction - is incredulity: behavior that is utterly inconsistent with a person’s values, common sense, professional behavior, or all three. I lowered the rating for this book because of incredulity - or, Walt’s “Oh, pleeze” actions - on a couple of occasions. Walt would never knowingly endanger his friends and colleagues at the level he does in these sections. Sometimes, his inaction in the face of clearly expected danger is equally incredulous.

This incredulity occurs in most of this series. Still, there are so many positives to these stories that they always tip the them into the most read column for me.

One of his best!

We love Walt because he’s just a good, good man. This is an endearing story yet also action packed, and it has a tearjerker ending!

Funny exciting ride

Somehow, though I’ve listened to many episodes, this one had me laughing a lot. Laughing with the storyteller that is. These stories have a lot of quick, funny, timely jokes. It was fun to listen to the story and cue in on the jokes.
