Excellent job tieing two mysteries together all around Longmire.
Certainly the best of the series so far -- 4.25 stars.
The story begins with the body found of a young Vietnamese girl in Longmire's county. In her purse is a photo of a young Longmire in Vietnam.
I really dislike parallel storylines -- they either jump back and forth too often, or the backstory is too long. Johnson handled the backstory very well of a key period of time during Longmire's tour of duty in Vietnam. They were key snippets that wove directly into the current storyline. That made for an enjoyable trek through the mind of Longmire.
Some points of the current story weren't perfectly presented, but were not a big distraction. I hope Johnson continues building on this fine story.

Another good installment in what is becoming one of my favorite series.
This was a pretty complex story for Longmire, and contains some serious subject matter - so I guess I shouldn't complain about the lower than normal level of humor. But it was still there; small bits like "Henry sat there without saying a word; Dog didn’t speak either." Dog is, of course, his dog.
The characters kept me guessing; many were not who or what they seemed. Then, there was this simultaneous telling of Walt's experience in the war in Viet Nam, which was fairly interesting, especially if you are following this series.

This is another excellent addition to the Longmire series. This takes Walt back to his days in Vietnam and related the Vietnam storyline to the current mystery.
I liked this installment of the Longmire series. I loved the juxtaposition of Vietnam and modern-day Wyoming and how seamless the parallels seemed to be. I felt like this novel went back to focusing more on Walt than the other main characters, and I appreciated the insight it gave. Also, the societal implications of trafficking and veterans affairs were touched upon without being overly preachy but still showed the importance of them.
They found the Vietnamese woman’s body on a low-traffic highway in Sheriff Walt Longmire’s county. Someone murdered her, and the approximation of a disturbed Crow Indian Vietnam veteran to the body leaves people thinking this is an open-and-shut case. Walt Longmire says not so fast. A photo in the dead woman’s purse is one that includes a younger Longmire standing with a Vietnamese woman while he was a Marine there in 1968. Before the book ends, Longmire solves two murders that span 40 years.
This is an ok series. I get a bit bogged down with all the supernatural stuff here—seeing ghosts of dead Indians, etc. There’s some of that in this book, too, but not as much, and the other characters make the book and the series worth reading.

Great read and gives a bit more incite into how Longmire's experience in the Vietnam War shaped him . The alternating story between the Vietnam War and the present day setting for the novel was well done. I was glad that this book went back to its Wyoming setting as it is an important part of the story and a big part in why I enjoy this series. Finally, this book in the series really shows to me how the author has assembled a very diverse cast of characters, including gender, age, and race. Excited to continue through the series.
Very Good. Longmire #4
