Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Johnson just gets better and better
After Hell Is Empty, I didn't think that Craig Johnson could get better, but I was wrong. While As the Crow Flies isn't as "literary" as its predecessor, it is a wonderful piece of writing.
The new characters are a delight. Lolo is great and I really appreciate her interaction not only with Walt but with her mother (who knows how to deal with her). I hope she will be back so we can see her mature into a fine police officer. I missed Vic in this one, but it was good to have Henry back full time. Dog was also a welcome inclusion this time.
Johnson's strength is in his characters. I know these people, and for the most part, I like them very much. I would know them if I met them on the street. I want to know them better, and he allows them to grow. Lonnie (Lonny?) is a much more mature character than he was in The Cold Dish, and I'm enjoying his new responsibilities as much as he is frustrated by them. Yes, it is so.
The plot had me completely in the dark until the last 30 minutes of the audio (or so). It wasn't as all what I was expecting, and that's all I'll say about that!! As usual the plot is logical when worked backwards.
The only thing wrong with the book is that I have finished it. Now I'm going back through the series again, just to reacquaint myself with the people. Then I suppose I'll just have to wait another year for another book.
(Other reviewers have explained the basic plot, so I will refrain from repeating them.)

He's done better
Craig Johnson shows us some brilliant moments with some nice phrases. The story line isn't nearly as tight as some previous stories. I found myself just wanting this one to wrap up so I could get on to my next book.
George Guidall, as usual nails the performance. My mom swears she would listen to George read the phone book.
I suspect Johnson is devoting more time to the TV series than to writing his books these days.
If you are a die hard Longmire fan, maybe listen. If you are a new listener, start elsewhere.

Another Winner from Craig Johnson
What did you love best about As the Crow Flies?
The complex characters were as fascinating as ever. Johnson is even more lyrical than ever. Yes, the story moves a bit slowly--and that is actually part of its charm.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Subplots were equally interesting to follow.
What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
There is NO ONE better than Guidall at reading a book with appropriate emotion, pacing and variety in the character voices.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both!! An at the right moments. I actually hated to see the story end...my usual reaction to Johnson's books. But, I'll wait patiently for the next installment.
Any additional comments?
Read this series from the first book in chronological order. Its very satisfying to see the characters develop. And, if you managed to see the TV series LONGMIRE, then you have had a taste of the rich experience n the book.

Katie gets married
I love this series, but this story seemed a bit shallow. As usual Craig Johnson does an amazing job capturing the characters' personalities. George Guidall delivers the story with his usual excellence. Henry returned in a more prominent role, a good move. It was enjoyable but not the best in the series. I will listen to Longmire as often as the books are published!

bring it on
What to say? I broke one of my own book rules in listening to the Walt Longmire series in that I usually go through my books in the order I buy them but not this time. I read online that season two of the Longmire TV series on A&E cable would be starting on Memorial Day weekend 2013. I haven't seen any of season one either. Knowing that seeing a book you like as a movie or as a TV series can be disappointing and since I was enjoying the books so much, I decided I wanted to finish all the books that are out at this time before seeing any of the TV shows. So, this is the last of the 8 Longmire books currently out. Craig Johnson is really a creative, imaginative writer. In his series he brings Wyoming to life, he brings the characters of not only Walt Longmire himself but his family, friends, and staff to life in a very fun, witty way. You can't help but respect Walt as the sort of crusty old sheriff that does whatever it takes to solve a crime in his county. The writing makes you chuckle at times. In this book, Walt spends his time on a Cheyenne Indian reservation on the Wyoming/Montana border helping a new chief of police solve a crime while he gives the chief help in learning how to investigate a crime. At the same time his daughter is making plans to get married. There is a lot going on but Walt works through it all as only he can. Finding this series has been a real joy. I hope I like the TV series, the author says he approves the adaptation so I will watch based on that recommendation. And, I'll look forward to book #9, whenever that is.

Home Run
If you could sum up As the Crow Flies in three words, what would they be?
great listening fun
What was one of the most memorable moments of As the Crow Flies?
The introduction of a new character in Chief Long
What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Timing, depth and additional humor. He is definitely the voice of Henry.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, my husband and I enjoyed savoring it over a series of excursions
Any additional comments?
Author Craig Johnson has developed a memorable series with Sheriff Longmire, but all the previous books I have listened to have had some confusing plot sequences and tended to linger on overdone self-reflection or description to the point of being repetitive. The books had a lot of loose ends that one overlooked because of the strength of the character development and the engaging and smart writing style. In this book, Johnson pulls it all together in the right balance of plot, character, and humor. It is his best one yet and just plain good fun to listen to. George Guidall is the perfect reader for it as well.

Becoming Addicted To Walt Longmire Mysteries!
If you could sum up As the Crow Flies in three words, what would they be?
Darn Good writing! Good writing is when you make it seem so "easy." Great characters, and always a top-notch mystery to solve in a wonderful location. There's always a philosophical bent to the way Craig Johnson writes, and his Walt Longmire character is such a likable, wise, and unassuming man that what he says sticks with you. Like good 'ol horse sense. His friends are just as amazing. The Indians on the "Res", their way of living their lives.They display simple wisdom. It just all works to make this whole series "Different."
What other book might you compare As the Crow Flies to and why?
You can't compare Walt Longmire mysteries to any other books because they are unique.
Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?
Walt, and really, all of them because they are all so unique, lol.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, it made me laugh because there is so much irony in the things that are said. There are so many dry and funny things said. Cry? Yes, because sad sides of human nature are exposed.
Any additional comments?
I love this series. There are a few series I will always look for and this is one of them.

One of the best series I've ever read
What did you love best about As the Crow Flies?
The characters are so real and the story is smooth. The books are suspenseful, funny and charming - all at the same time.
What did you like best about this story?
The character development
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
Guidall makes the sheriff and native american voices just pop - bringing them to a level of such believability, it's amazing.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I have no idea - lol. But my first impression of the book (its cover) wasn't "up my alley" - and now I wonder how many other books I've overlooked due to this. The fact that it's a 'western' shouldn't stop anyone from reading/watching this series.
Any additional comments?
Can't wait for the next book - and please George Guidall....keep narrating. :)

another winner by craig johnson
First heard of Walt Longmire on the tv series. Loved it. Went back to the first book he wrote and have been listening to them in order. George Guidel does an excellent job narrating especially with the dry wit of The Cherokee. Never disappointed by a Walt Whitmire book by Craig Johnson. Like one of the other reviewers, "I wish Craig would write faster".
