Intense Thriller . . . Enjoy!

I thoroughly enjoyed the thriller; "Hell is Empty", book 7 in the Walt Longmire series. The author, Craig Johnson, wrote an excellent story. It was also really enjoyable to listen to because of the narrator George Guidall. He IS, like one reviewer stated, Walt Longmire.

I especially liked the return of the character, Virgil White Buffalo, from the 4th book "Another Man’s Moccasins." It was unclear to me whether Virgil was only a spirit guide or really present with Walt Longmire in the story. That was the mystery for me!

If you are a fan of this series, this may be one of your favorites!

A litte too much Dante

What really saves this story is the narrator, George Guidall who really becomes Walt Longmire. For some reason Johnson has decided to write a literary trope homage to Dante's Inferno. Walt is the figurative Dante actually lead through a frozen hell by a Virgil in pursuit of a murderer, a clever ghost, who has been released by a Beatrice. It's too much of a "I see dead things" for me. Not quite up to the Longmire tradition. Hopefully Johnson will get back on the right saddle for the next installment.

Hell is Emty

Amazing story I can't understand the authors insights.
It is like he was really there and not fiction at all.
And I was there too.

Good, but not my favorite Longmire story.

I had a bit of a hard time keeping all the characters straight in this one and dont quite know what to make of the ending. It isn't my favorite Longmire story, but I am still very much a fan of the series and am looking forward to reading the next in the book.
The narration was very good, the only thing that could make it better is if Robert Taylor himself did it!

Another Great Read

This is the third book in the Longmire series that I’ve read and to me this is the best of the three. I give this book two thumbs up.

One of my favorites in the series

This book dives deep into who Walt is—the goodness that we all want to be, the heroes, the fighter, the protector. I really enjoyed this one. As always, the performance is as awesome as the text.

It’s A Bit Out There

Once again Walt is trekking the mountains looking for bad guys and saving the good. And once again there’s the Indian spirit world at play here. It’s interesting, but it does seem to drag out just a bit. Good story though. Makes a better story than the gutted version they used on the show
