Reviews"We in the West have a major new talent on our hands." -- The Denver Post "A winning piece of work, and a convincing feel to the whole package." -- The Washington Post "Craig Johnson does it right, with style, grace, wildfire pace, and a sense of humor." -- Bob Shacochis Praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series "It's the scenery--and the big guy standing in front of the scenery--that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson's lean and leathery mysteries." -- The New York Times Book Review "Johnson's hero only gets better--both at solving cases and at hooking readers--with age." -- Publishers Weekly "Like the greatest crime novelists, Johnson is a student of human nature. Walt Longmire is strong but fallible, a man whose devil-may-care stoicism masks a heightened sensitivity to the horrors he's witnessed." -- Los Angeles Times "Johnson's trademarks [are] great characters, witty banter, serious sleuthing, and a love of Wyoming bigger than a stack of derelict cars." -- The Boston Globe "The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence." -- The New York Times "[Walt Longmire] is an easy man to like. . . . Johnson evokes the rugged landscape with reverential prose, lending a heady atmosphere to his story." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Stepping into Walt's world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and it's where those slippers lead that provides a thrill. Johnson pens a series that should become a 'must' read, so curl up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride." -- The Denver Post "Johnson's pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps." -- Entertainment Weekly, "We in the West have a major new talent on our hands." -- The Denver Post "A winning piece of work, and a convincing feel to the whole package." -- The Washington Post "Craig Johnson does it right, with style, grace, wildfire pace, and a sense of humor." -- Bob Shacochis
