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.

Excellent!!

Every Walt Longmire book is a roller coaster ride. This one is excellent of course. I just hung on for the ride. How does the sheriff get into the situations that are life and death. I love it. We need more heroes like him.

Great Book

Another wonderful book by Craig Johnson. The story has lots of action, with bits of humor sprinkled throughout. George Guidall is an excellent narrator. With some violence and the liberal use of the F word, this book isn’t a cozy, but comes close.

John Wayne rides again

Walt's moments with the buffalo and listening for Virgil are always so special.

Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?

Waly of course he makes the whole thing work.

Any additional comments?

Move Cady closer to Wyoming, someday he's not going to make it to Philly.

Another fabulous listen

If you’re not into the Longmire mysteries yet, stop reading this and go buy the first one!! They are simply amazing.

As far as the series goes this isn’t my favorite book but it’s very good. Walt is at it again solving mysteries and speaking with ghosts (or is he).
This book unwinds slowly but ends with a wonderfully dramatic chase down.

Sadly not much of Vic or Henry in this one but we do get some fantastic Lucian moments!

If you’re a fan buy this book
If you’re not a fan go back and start with a cold dish, you’ll get drawn in

Another Most Excellent Book In The Series

Would you listen to Any Other Name again? Why?

Yes. It is another book is this highly rated series.

What other book might you compare Any Other Name to and why?

It has all the same characters we have come to love in this series. One could almost compare it to any of the other stories.

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

George's narration is perfect for this author. He portrays each character as the it should be done.

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

Like the others, this book has great humorous characters.

Excellent narration. Hero males questionable decisions

I started listening to this series in 2022. Maybe listening to them back to back is not a good idea. Guidell is excellent narration and I’d a perfect voice for Walt Longmire. I enjoyed this story, but get a little tired of Walt making decision after decision that puts his life in danger, when, in reality, he could make other decisions and still resolve the case. I’ve learned that Craig Johnson is going to write it as Walt being Walt, but I’m hoping Walt grows up and realizes that sometimes a hero is a person that shows up for his family BEFORE risking being buried alive.

Skillful Storytelling

I've grown accustomed to George Guidall... that's good after 10 or so of the Longmire novels.

Another great entry in the series

What did you love best about Any Other Name?

Craig Johnson's way of writing a story and characters, and George Guidall's way of telling the story of those characters, make them an unstoppable team.

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

George Guidall was great as always. He's the best at what he does.

What a Ride! Guidall & Johnson Do it Again....

I have every book in the series and they never disappoint. Guidall is a masterful narrator and has simply "become" Walt Longmire. It still amazes me that Craig Johnson manages to mix up a good old fashioned mystery with flawed characters, native spirituality and tons of humor. The only character I missed a bit in this book was Ruby, though I'm sure she'll be back in future books. I'm already looking forward to #12. I tried watching a TV episode, and just couldn't do it - Walt didn't sound like George Guidall and he even looks better in my head than he did on TV, so I'm sticking with the audio books!
Start at the beginning and get every book in this series - you won't regret it.

I love these books

These books and their narration have become a huge part of my life. I doubt I could get by with out their escape. Thank you for this.
