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.

Baby On The Way

This is classic Longmire with all the main characters present. With his daughter pregnant and delivery eminent in Philly, Walt is attempting to solve a case that keeps him in Wyoming. With Vic and the Cheyenne Nation assisting, this is another terrific Craig Johnson yarn with just enough mystery, humor, and family drama to keep things interesting. As always, George Guidall delivers a flawless performance.

He Has To Make That Plane

A sense of urgency is a consistent theme in this book. Walt has to solve where missing and or murdered women have gone. And he has only a day or two to do it before he hops on a plane to be in Philadelphia for the birth of his first grandchild. A great tale. Expertly narrated.

Walt survives another one

I rushed to read this one to find out Vic's fate. Great storyline, chilling finish.

Craig Johnson -Longmier

I can't get enough of this series. Edge of your seat suspense. keep writing, Craig.

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.

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.
