I don't know how Walt Longmire keeps going! Especially in the books set in winter in Wyoming. He has a tough constitution and knows what needs to be done.
Craig Johnson is a vivid storyteller. I can feel the cold, sense the pain, hear the laughter and the sorrow, empathize with all that is occurring with the characters.
Warm, funny, scary, cold, grueling, sad.
An outstanding addition to the series. I love how I know I read it as a mystery, but it could be shelved in the literature section.
Definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed this one. Different vibe and mystery. Really enjoyed the sort of supernatural uncertainty vibe. What’s happening what’s real what’s not. Man versus nature and own weakness and body. I love Virgil’s character and the Dante symbolism was on point. I also love this narrator. One of the few series I really enjoy as an audio almost more than reading

3.5. This one felt short and it's a dreamy, mysterious one where Walt spends a night alone on a mountain, in a blizzard, chasing a bad guy. He hallucinates but he doesn't know it and the reader is left trying to decipher what was real from what was imagined.

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,
Walt Longmire's Biggest Fan

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!
