Hell and Back

Longmire Mysteries, Book 18

De: Craig Johnson

Narrado por: George Guidall

A new novel in the beloved New York Times bestselling Longmire series.

Picking up where Daughter of the Morning Star left off, the next Longmire novel finds the sheriff digging further into the mysteries of the wandering without—a mythical all-knowing spiritual being that devours souls.

Walt thinks he might find the answers he's looking for among the ruins of an old Native American boarding school—an institution designed to strip Native children of their heritage. He has been haunted by the image of the Fort Pratt Industrial Indian Training School ever since he first saw a faded postcard picturing a hundred boys in uniform, in front of a large, ominous building—a postcard that was given to him by Jimmy Lane, the father of Jeanie One Moon.

After Walt's initial investigation into Jeanie's disappearance yielded no satisfying conclusions, Walt has to confront the fact that he may be dealing with an adversary unlike any he has ever faced before.

Not your average Longmire tale

I’m going to avoid spoilers by hiding, amongst many descriptions, what’s actually going on in this book. If you like stories (movies, TV, poems, tales, books) with dream sequences, altered reality, the upside down, the space in between, fever dreams, mysticism, lore, mythology, symbolic imagery and a general feeling of otherworldliness well, this is the book for you. The same friendships and charm of Walt, Kady, Vic, Dog and The Bear exist in the background. This was my least favorite book of the series as I really had to not only focus but set aside my disappointment that it wasn’t the usual fare.

Wow!

I do think that to best understand this one, you'll need to have read the entire series. So many characters come together. Very well written. I'm looking forward to the unpacking in the next book.

Just when you think he couldn't get Better...

Wow! What a masterpiece of literature! Johnson has hit a new plateau of excellence!

Goose bumps

This book is amazing. How long does it take for goose bumps to go away.

didn't want it to end!

Craig Johnson is a master at storytelling. I get swept into each of his books, and feel like I really know each of his characters. Also, the narrator is awesome. Perfect voice for Walt. I look forward to each new book, and this last one was especially exceptional! I highly recommend!
