A review by steven_v
As The Crow Flies by Craig Johnson
4.0
One of the best novels in the Longmire series, Crow Flies is an engaging mystery as well as an interesting character study. Johnson adds a fun new character, Lolo Long, the new Chief of tribal police, to the cast, and she is truly wonderful... I hope she will be around more in the future.
The novel features some good screen time for Henry Standing Bear, my favorite supporting character, which is always a treat. The Bear and Walt have a great relationship, and I enjoyed seeing it develop. Vic is not in the story much, which is disappointing... but Lolo made up for it.
The mystery itself took a back seat to the characterization, which I don't mind, and it was also a tough one to figure out. Like Walt, I didn't like any of the more obvious suspects. The ending seemed a little rushed, once we found out who did it, but overall, it was a good case.
If you have been reading and enjoying the Longmire series, you will like this one.
