Reviews"Johnson expertly highlights his conflicted hero's dual role as father and sheriff in this deeply satisfying installment."-- Publisher's Weekly (starred review), "The pleasure of the series rests in Walt's narration, with its laid-back, observant, bemused recounting of events…Solid landscapes, a mélange of fully fleshed characters (familiar and new), drily laconic dialogue and assorted power struggles-including Walt's endless war with Rezdawg, Henry's recalcitrant, falling-apart truck-keep the latest in this rich and satisfying series on engaging course."- Houston Chronicle, "All the elements his fans love are present: lively characters, easy banter, and, of course, a touch of the supernatural. In early books, Walt was less sure of himself, but, in his eighth adventure, it makes sense that he's now the one "giving sheriff lessons." This book fits the hand like a well-worn glove."- Booklist, "A top-notch tale of complex emotions and misguided treachery... Crow is a superb novel steeped in the culture of the American West."-- USA Today, "The pleasure of the series rests in Walt's narration, with its laid-back, observant, bemused recounting of events...Solid landscapes, a mlange of fully fleshed characters (familiar and new), drily laconic dialogue and assorted power struggles--including Walt's endless war with Rezdawg, Henry's recalcitrant, falling-apart truck--keep the latest in this rich and satisfying series on engaging course."-- Houston Chronicle, "A top-notch tale of complex emotions and misguided treachery… Crow is a superb novel steeped in the culture of the American West."- USA Today, "Walt's voice lets readers in on his gentle and wry nature, while showcasing his devotion to bringing bad guys or gals to justice...Johnson enriches his narrative by using the setting itself as another well-developed character. Johnson's Northern Cheyenne characters defy stereotype with self-depreciating humor and strength. Chief Lolo Long and Tribal Chief Lonnie Little Bird are especially well-crafted and appealing."-- The Denver Post, "All the elements his fans love are present: lively characters, easy banter, and, of course, a touch of the supernatural.

SynopsisThe eighth novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire series, the basis for LONGMIRE , the hit Netflix original series Embarking on his eighth adventure, Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire doesn't have time for cowboys and criminals. His daughter, Cady, is getting married in two weeks, and the wedding locale arrangements have just gone up in smoke signals. Fearing Cady's wrath, Walt and his old friend Henry Standing Bear set out for the Cheyenne Reservation to find a new site for the nuptials. But their expedition ends in horror as they witness a young Crow woman plummeting from Painted Warrior's majestic cliffs. Is it a suicide, or something more sinister? It's not Walt's turf, but he's coerced into the investigation by Lolo Long, the beautiful new tribal police chief.

Good Series
i have enjoyed each book in this series. Each book seems to develop one or more of the characters that inhabit the space just a bit more. As in life we learn a bit more about the folks we already know.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
