Review "You dont have to be a fan of Longmire, the hit Netflix series, to appreciate this clever tale." —Publishers Weekly"This ghost story is a great tale with enough twists and turns to make it a fun read. A reader new to the series can dive into the Longmire world immediately and will likely want to go back and read all of its previous entries." —Deseret News"Just a pure story that would be right at home being told around a campfire: immediately engaging, filled with turns and surprises, with an ending that comes too soon."—The GazettePraise for Dry Bones"Fast-paced [and] entertaining." —The Denver Post"An especially good tale . . . If you are not familiar with Longmire, you might want to meet him. If you know him, dont miss his latest case." —Charleston Post & Courier"Yet another classic Craig Johnson mystery." —Deseret News"The [Longmire] series continues to be fresh and innovative. . . . Devoted series fans wont feel a sense of déjà vu in Dry Bones, but they will easily identify Johnsons tendency toward innovative imagery . . . crack dialogue, humor and a strong sense of place. Absarokas maker brings dem bones to life, and readers are sure to rejoice." —Shelf Awareness"[Walt Longmire] remains tough, smart, honest, and capable of entertaining fans with another difficult, dangerous case." —Kirkus Reviews"[Longmire] never disappoints the reader: hes a hero through thick and thin." —Publishers WeeklyPraise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series"Its the scenery—and the big guy standing in front of the scenery—that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnsons lean and leathery mysteries." —The New York Times Book Review"Johnsons 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 hes witnessed." —Los Angeles Times"Johnsons 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 Walts world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and its where those slippers lead that provides a thrill.
