Critics Review
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
