Publisher's summary

Sheriff Walt Longmire had already rounded up a sizable posse of devoted readers when the A&E television series Longmire sent the Wyoming lawman’s popularity skyrocketing. Now, in Any Other Name, Walt is sinking into high-plains winter discontent when his former boss, Lucian Conally, asks him to take on a mercy case in an adjacent county. Detective Gerald Holman is dead and Lucian wants to know what drove his old friend to take his own life. With the clock ticking on the birth of his first grandchild, Walt learns that the by-the-book detective might have suppressed evidence concerning three missing women. Digging deeper, Walt uncovers an incriminating secret so dark that it threatens to claim other lives even before the sheriff can serve justice - Wyoming style.

Can't get enough

I can't get enough of Walt Longmire. I have to listen to other books in between in order to savor this series.

Excellent

The speaker makes the story! His inflection brings out the story! I couldn’t wait to pick this story up! The Longmire writer is fantastic. I look forward to all of his stories. This was a fantastic read!! Good Job! And thank you

How can they get any better than this one?

I have all eleven of Graig Johnson's Walt Longmire books.
"Any Other Name" in my opinion is the best.

Addicting, that's what Longmire is.

Stories are always strong, people real, and endings worth the wait. I have replayed the book just to hear the humor and feel the cold again.

very good story

you will live the plot of the story along with the intertwined characters. more pressure to solve this mystery before Longmire's big day

Another excellent work

A wonderful series that I’d recommend to anyone who’s interested in the crime novel genre.

Any Other Name

Excellent story and characters, as usual. Love then Longmire series. Have read all the books and I’m now enjoying listening to them as well. Just wish Walt could get a little more sleep sometimes!😁

Almost any Longmire book is a good one. Almost.

I enjoyed this installment of the series, although as some other reviewers point out the book has a number of weak points. The plot is well described by the blurb and other readers. Walt goes to neighboring Campbell County to investigate an apparent suicide by a sheriff's deputy, at Lucien Connelly's request. Once there Walt discovers layers of bad doings, with the worst of them being some horrendous rednecks who are hijacking young strippers and selling them into "white slavery." (No minorities?) The town in which this occurs is tiny. It has a post office, a Piggly Wiggly and a strip joint. That's it. You wouldn't think that such a place would be a maelstrom of evil doings, and yet...
I missed Henry and Vic, who are my favorite characters other than Walt. Katie is in Philadelphia just about to give birth, and she desperately needs Walt to be with her, but he gets so wound up in his investigation that he almost misses the plane flight. The penultimate scene, which is really the climax of the book, is a truly terrific scene involving a coal train, one of the young victims of the rednecks, and Walt, about to be crushed to death by several hundred tons of coal being loaded into a rail car. In this scene Walt seems to be a fifty-five year old Superman, which does stretch credulity juuuuust a little bit.
Once again George Guidall is Walt, and the thought of some other narrator interloping on George's territory is unimaginable. George isn't the perfect narrator, but he is pretty darned close.
I find as the series goes along that I really like the books in which Walt and Vic become a couple. The relationship between them is great. Vic is one of the great wits in the whole series, and she has terrific fun yanking Walt's chain, so to speak.
The TV series, BTW, is really very good. I am enjoying it much more than I would have imagined, as I watch very little TV. I recommend it to you, if you have access to Netflix. It's just about worth the price of admission, and it's in its seventh season, I believe. I heartily recommend both the audiobooks and the TV series to you. Fun is had by all. Well, almost all, except the truly bad guys who get summarily blown away.

another winner

I love Longmire. The stories get better and better. I finished listening in 2 days. Couldn't turn it off. Without a doubt my favorite series. Mr. Guidall was wonderful. Dont miss this one.

Long live Longmire

I just love Longmire and this book does him justice again. The narrator is a perfect fit.
