“Thrilling . . . Whether he’s squaring off against biker gangs or
teasing out long-simmering feuds involving his closest friends,
Walt Longmire is always the man for the job.” —Publishers
Weekly
“Plenty of action, humor, and literary allusions drive the story to
a bang-up conclusion. Johnson . . . never disappoints.” —Kirkus
Reviews
“A Walt Longmire novel is like going on a ride-along with an old
friend, watching him ferret out the bad guys with wit and humanity
(and more than a few bullets), while we swap stories and catch up
on old times…it’s An Obvious Fact—it’s good to have Walt back on
the scene.” —Mystery Scene
“The laconic modern-day cowboy Walt Longmire, is a guy you'd like
to have a Rainier beer with.”—The Oklahoman
“[An Obvious Fact is] one of his best Longmire tales to
date.”—Austin American-Statesman
"[Craig Johnson] weaves in plenty of humorous banter,
emotional bonding and deep characterization to bring his extended
cast of Walt, Undersheriff Victoria Moretti and Henry Standing Bear
to life." —BookPage
"No urban crime series is more sophisticated or more amusing than
the Longmire novels when it comes to the complicated psychology of
criminals and their victims." —The Connecticut Post
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
