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
