Retour dans le Wyoming mais cette fois-ci sous plusieurs angles difficiles et complexes: la guerre du Vietnam, les jeunes Henry Standing Bear et Longmire et la migration illégale suivie de l'exploitation de jeunes vietnamiennes.
Johnson manie les mots et vous projette dans des flashbacks ambiance Apocalypse Now, chaos en son et lumières exacerbant la folie humaine et l'anarchie d'une guerre qui ne rime à rien et entraîne tout dans son rouleau compresseur.
Encore une fois, des personnages secondaires récurrents qui se bonifient, un Longmire pris dans la tempête du souvenir et son besoin de sauver quelqu'un et ses maladresses sentimentales souvent drôles, et des protagonistes directement liés à l'intrigue du tome, aussi surprenants que fascinants.
Je suis prise au piège: mes lectures universitaires obligatoires et de plus en plus urgentes sont en stand-by, le tome suivant de Craig Johnson s'est jeté dans mes bras...

These books are just fun, quick reads. The characters are great. You have to wonder why BFE Wyoming is suddenly murder central, but an author's gotta do what an author's gotta do. It was especially nice to see the author avoid his usual trick of having a character suddenly have a second name that we didn't know about earlier which then makes the puzzle click together.

My favorite of the series so far, Another Man's Moccasins takes us through Walt's latest case and weaves in his very first, during the Vietnam war. I though Johnson did a great job of linking the two stories together, especially through some slick transitions. I also enjoyed the fact that this book focused a bit less on the supporting characters and more on Walt and the two cases. Also, the fact the Vietnam narrative adds some great backstory to Walt and some of the overarching plot points brought into play in the previous novel were well developed here. All in all a great Longmire book. I look forward to starting the next one tomorrow.
