Reseñas de la Crítica

"The quick pace and tangled web of interconnected crimes will keep readers turning pages." ( Publishers Weekly)

Philadelphia Story

Sheriff Walt Longmire heads east to Philadelphia to meet his daughter's fiance and his parents. Walt and his best friend Henry Standing Bear drive east in Henry's 59 T-Bird Lola. Upon arriving Walt is contacted by Katie and she informs him she'll be working late. So he is certainly surprised when he's contacted by the hospital to learn that his daughter is in a coma; the victim of a fall at a Philadelphia landmark far from her office.
Thus begins Walt's search for his daughter's fiance; whose life ends as he's tossed off a bridge. Now the search widens and intensifies as Walt becomes a suspect in the death.
Woven into the narrative is a Mainline Philly kid billy Carlyle; now "white Indian" William White Eyes who continues to appear and disappear. Plus a less than ethical ADA with sketchy connections; a Latin druglord and an inner city black thug.
Woven into the plot is the omnipresent Moretti police family; including Walt's deputy Victoria Moretti; aka Vic, aka Vic the Holy Terror. Her father Victor the Chief of Detectives, brother Michael who is becoming enamored with Katie, and mother Lena who appears to be infatuated with Walt.
As is probably a part of every Sheriff Longmire mystery Walt goes off an individualistic hot dog chase in which he engages in an unarmed chase with a shotgun toting thug. In the end the crimes are solved; the guilty punished and ties between the Longmire and Moretti clans are further intertwined. As usual George Guidall is the gold standard in narration and this is the high water book of the series thus far.

West Goes East

I read this one out of order but the story and writing style are so good that it can stand on its own, however, I will go back and buy book #2 and then the rest of the series in order. Good strong lead characters that can mesh well with new ones. This book has a good story line to set the hook and Mr. G, The Master narrator, to reel you in.

Easy listening book

Another easy listening Walt Longmire mystery. It is a little unbelievable in parts, but overall a good listen. The narator, George Guidall is the best!
