Johnson . . . never disappoints. --Kirkus Reviews A Walt Longmire novel is like going on a ride-along with an old friend, watching him ferret out the bad guys with wit and humanity (and more than a few bullets), while we swap stories and catch up on old times...it's An Obvious Fact--it's good to have Walt back on the scene. --Mystery Scene [Craig Johnson] weaves in plenty of humorous banter, emotional bonding and deep characterization to bring his extended cast of Walt, Undersheriff Victoria Morettli and Henry Standing Bear to life. --BookPage No urban crime series is more sophisticated or more amusing than the Longmire novels when it comes to the complicated psychology of criminals and their victims. --The Connecticut Post Praise for Dry Bones Fast-paced [and] entertaining. --The Denver Post An especially good tale . . .

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.
