Praise for The Western Star:
"Walt Longmire still bears the impenetrable stoicism of the
American West balanced with an irrepressible humanity . . . he is
balanced, like the West itself, by poetry, sensitivity and
culture-a character of tremendous strength and sometimes surprising
violence."
-The Washington Post
"All aboard! The Longmire train is in the station, and you don't
want to miss this one."
-Shelf Awareness
"Bestseller Johnson pays homage to Agatha Christie in his cleverly
plotted [The Western Star] . . . And [he] winds up the
whodunit with a solution that Christie could never have
imagined."
-Publishers Weekly
"Entertaining and suspenseful."
-The Washington Times
"[The Western Star is] an excellent addition to [Craig
Johnson's] Longmire series. Whether a fan of the book or Netflix
series, the reader will enjoy the fast-paced action and crisp
dialogue."
-Deseret News
"Extraordinary . . . delightful . . . Readers are reminded that as
compassionate and fair-minded Walt has become, there remains at his
core a ruthless protective instinct for those he loves."
-Kings River Life Magazine
More 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."
-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
"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
