Praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series
"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. Unlike traditional genre novelists who
obsess mainly over every hairpin plot turn, Johnson's books are
also preoccupied with the mystery of his characters'
psyches."--"Los Angeles Times"
"Johnson knows the territory, both fictive and geographical, and
tells us about it in prose that crackles."--Robert B. Parker
"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
"
"A winning piece of work...There's a convincing feel to the whole
package: a sense that you're viewing this territory through the
eyes of someone who knows it as adoring lover and skeptical
onlooker at the same time."--"The Washington Post "
"Johnson's pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps."--"Entertainment
Weekly"
"Truly great. Reading Craig Johnson is a treat...[He] tells great
stories, casts wonderful characters and writes in a style that
compels the reader forward."--"Wyoming Tribune Eagle"
