What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Fast-paced [and] entertaining … Johnson, as usual, offers colorful glimpses of Wyoming history and its physical features. Johnson is able to make the landscape itself at least as fascinating as the slightly off-kilter, and sometimes murderous, folks that inhabit Walt’s universe.”–Denver Post

“An especially good tale … If you are not familiar with Longmire, you might want to meet him. If you know him, don’t miss his latest case.” –Charleston Post & Courier

“Yet another classic Craig Johnson mystery.” –Deseret News “The [Longmire] series continues to be fresh and innovative. In Dry Bones, Johnson accomplishes this through a ‘sixty-five-million-year-old cold case’ with current social and political implications, as well as via vibrantly complex characters. Devoted series fans won’t feel a sense of déjà vu in Dry Bones, but they will easily identify Johnson’s tendency toward innovative imagery (‘my brain felt like it was bouncing around like a sneaker inside a washing machine’), crack dialogue, humor and a strong sense of place. Absaroka’s maker brings dem bones to life, and readers are sure to rejoice.” –Shelf Awareness

”[Walt Longmire] remains tough, smart, honest, and capable of entertaining fans with another difficult, dangerous case.”–Kirkus Reviews ”[Longmire] never disappoints the reader: he’s a hero through thick and thin.”–Publishers Weekly

Praise for Craig Johnson and the Longmire 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

“Sometimes funny, sometimes touching, and always entertaining, Wait for Signs is a complete delight.” –ShelfAwareness

“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 hero only gets better–both at solving cases and at hooking readers–with age.” –Publishers Weekly “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 “Johnson’s pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps.” –Entertainment Weekly “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
