The Longmire Defense

Longmire Mysteries, Book 19

By: Craig Johnson

Narrated by: George Guidall

Walt Longmire faces one of his most challenging crime scenes as he tries to reckon with the revelations of his last case where he confronted the ghosts of his past and questioned the very nature of justice and mercy in the hard country of the West.

Deep in the heart of the Wyoming countryside, Sheriff of Absaroka County Walt Longmire is called to a crime scene like few others that he has seen. This crime brings up issues that go back to Walt’s grandfather’s time in Wyoming, as the revelations he learns about his grandfather come back to offer clues and motives for Walt’s investigation. Filled with back-country action, and with the great cast of characters that listeners have come to love with the Longmire series, this new book will be sure to satisfy both long-time listeners and those new to the series.

Vintage Longmire in all the best ways!!

This book is a great, and much needed, return to the original style of the Longmire books. I love this whole series immensely, but the Bidarte storyline sort of lost the essence of what made me love the Longmire series to begin with (I’ve a hunch they thought it would make better a TV script for that terrible show…).

Not this book buddy. Walt and the gang are back in full force and style. And so is Johnson.

I absolutely loved it and can’t wait for the next book!

The Longmire story continues

Loved it! With all of the characters present as they should be. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

No escape

No escaping George G's mesmerizing control. He seizes your attention and won't let go. He is Walt L.

Walt Longmire

Please- don’t ever go away! There are many things in many days, hours, minutes that can’t even compete and wouldn’t even try. From Montana, always! pk

Ended with a smile and tears

Any book that leaves me laughing while tears roll down my face wins top prize!

Blending memories into the present day action.

Craig Johnson has a way of blending memories into the present day action, and with some kinda magic he gives the reader a mesmerizing tale. This tale is extremely close and personal to Walt Longmire as he finds himself investigating a cold case. His own grandfather and a shooting death that happened in an elk camp on his grandfather's land. The case quickly heats up as the grave digger and friend looking for the body is shot. I can't even begin to describe the number of twisty turns this mystery has to take as Walt Longmire works out the case.
George Guidall as always is the perfect narrator for the Walt Longmire story. So yeah grab the book and enjoy listening...

Another great mystery!

Love this series and look forward to each new novel and visiting with my favorite characters for a bit. As always, excellent narrator. Think I will have to reread the whole series. Again. It’s SO well written!

Enjoyable listen

The combination of George Guidall and Craig Johnson is a win win proposition. One of Johnson’s best.

As always, a very good read!

I could listen to George Guidall read from a phone book and be entranced! The story and the reader are a wonderful match.

SUREFIRE HIT !

Excellent narration as expected with GG ! Good story line. Couldn’t buy the ending though as Vic is too savvy to not know what’s going on.
