What happened Craig Johnson?!?!? I have fallen in love with your series, starting the next in the series right after I finish one. (I listen to the audio version and have recommended highly to my friends. I even listened to your interview with the FANTASTIC audio reader George Guidall.
But I was very disappointed by this particular book.
What I love about the Walt Longmire series:
1) Intelligent witty dialogue
2) Brave smart Walt Longmire
3) Intense charming friendships between Walt and his friends
4) Fabulous women characters
So in this book, our beloved Sheriff Walt spends 95% of the time on a snowy mountain, mostly alone. No dialogue, no friends, no women. And worse, our hero seems to do one stupid thing after another.
And worse, the book includes ENDLESS magical mysticism. We've seen some of that before in prior books, but it's so unnecessary. And in this book the symbolism and musings seemed to go for days.
Mr. Johnson, please just bring back the best of this series - go back to Durant (no more trips to Philly or other out-of-context locales). Celebrate the charm of the small town and the incredible characters that you have developed.
Thank you in advance,

One of the better Longmire books, but suffers from an ending that begins to drag with the internal monolog.

One of my favorite books of the series. A bit different than the other books, but fun, engaging, and you see a different side of Longmires past. More of a solo book, but I liked the adventure and how the story took you through each leg of the journey.
One of my favorite characters comes back and I can’t wait to find out more information on exactly what happened!

Thus far, my favorite Longmire. History between and about characters continues to build up. We see old friends. One of my favorite earlier side characters returns. I do hope/wish that Virgil isn't dead but I think he really was. So much sadness in his story. I hope that the closure for his son, knowing his father had nothing to do with his son's death, is good.
Another super installment in this well written intelligent western mystery series. Craig Johnson is visiting our fair city this Friday and I look forward to hearing him speak in person about the inspirations for Longmire and crew. Highly recommended reading if you like literary allusions scattered among a good action mystery plot with unique and interesting characters.
I only gave this book 4 stars because I got a little frustrated with the main character once again going after a killer alone and putting himself in unnecessary danger. L
