Summary

Award-winning author Craig Johnson's critically acclaimed debut Western mystery takes listeners to the breathtaking mountains of Wyoming for a tale of cold-blooded vengeance. Two years earlier, four high school boys were given suspended sentences for raping a Cheyenne girl. Now, two of the boys have been killed, and only Sheriff Walt Longmire can keep the other two safe.

"Johnson, who lives in Ucross, Wyoming, knows the Western landscape well, and creates stunning and violent scenes of the Rocky Mountains." (Bookmarks)

Perfect narration

A who dun-nit type story made a success for me by a great narrator.

A slow burn

It was a bit slow to get into. The narrator, fitting perfectly with the character, slow and methodical was great for sleep time. The story was good and was settling old scores.

An excellent dramatisation makes a good story even better.

Loved George’s rich voice and clever dramatisation, thought the story excellent until the last when there was suddenly too much violent physical action for comfort, or indeed to sit well with the sedentary character we’d come to love.

Loved it

Loved the humour that threaded its way through to the end! Made me laugh out loud more than once. The narrator was perfect . The seriousness was balanced with good characters and solid storytelling.

Really good

Really enjoyed it, and what a narrator!! Exceptional.
A good yarn about an assault on a young girl and the ensuing revenge, told by the sheriff, who has a dry sense of humour and is surrounded by some very interesting characters.

A good story,

A good story well told, with an unexpected ending. A bonus for me was that I spent the summer of 22 in Wyoming so could relate to the area and culture. I will look forward to the rest of series

The first of a great series!

I am a huge fan of Craig Johnson’s Walt Longmire series. I have read most of the books and I really love them! They are a mixture of mystery and police procedural drama, with great characters one would love to meet in real life. They have many laugh-out-loud moments, and are imbued with great humanity.

That said, listening to the books narrated by the great George Guidall, is an even better experience. George Guidall is truly fantastic in this series!

Absolutely a new classic

I must say this is one of the best books I’ve come across in a long time. It is very slow & non-linear when it comes to describing the feelings and observations of Walt, and Henry and all the other characters. But you get fully immersed in how they think what’s going on in them and the author hits it right on the bottom. I can highly recommend this to anybody who likes Fargo or the Charlie Parker series
