ReviewsPraise 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, 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.

Longmire Book
Good stories. Excellent writing. I am enjoying his books. Some bad language which I don't like. The TV show has much less than the books, but it's mainly Vic. Just saying....Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Not the best of the series, but adeqaute
Oline H. Codgill has obviously not read "Junkyard Dogs", or the previous book in the series, "Dark Horse", saying this book was "steeped in Western lore". Nope. Not this one. Earlier books in the series have had quite a bit of "Western lore", but this one is remarkably lacking, as well as being the weakest of the series I've yet read. (Actually, I've come to expect inaccuracies from that newspaper, after it attacked an old friend taking its info about him from only one highly biased source). Anyway, "Junkyard Dogs" is a bit too humorous, along the lines of Carl Hiaasen rather than the previous books of the mostly excellent Walt Longmire series. It's not the Joe Pickett series from C.J. Box, but what is? If, like me you were introduced to Walt Longmire via the TV series, this is worth a read. The books are far funnier than the TV show, and the interaction between Longmire and his supporting cast are far more developed, of course.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
