The third Walt Longmire mystery was a bit of a departure from its predecessors and I found the results rather mixed. Walt is accompanying Henry Standing Bear to Philadelphia where Henry will exhibit the Mennonite Pictures of the Cheyenne that he has unearthed. Walt is visiting his lawyer daughter,...
I didn't think I would like a Walt Longmire story set anywhere besides Wyoming. I was wrong and I should have known better! I love fish out of water stories! They're my favorite ones EVER. So, Walt and Henry drive Henry's Thunderbird (Lola [yes, Lola]) to Philly where Henry has an art exhibition f...
I was going to try to come up with something original for this time through the book, but mostly, I liked what I said
last time, so let's stick to that. I do have a few new things to say at the end, I should note. It's a sure sign that I need t...
It's a sure sign that I need to spend more time reading Johnson than watching the show based on this series in that I'm consistently surprised at how funny these books are. Sure Henry Standing Bear's dry wit is there, Vic is brash and inappropriate -- amusing enough -- but the narration, Walt himse...

It's time for a road trip!Walt and Henry take a road trip from Wyoming to Philadelphia (with Dog, naturally) where Henry will be presenting old Mennonite photographs found on the reservation to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts while Walt visits Cady, the greatest legal mind of our time. But wh...
This book, #3 in the Longmire series, has a marvelous first sentence: “ I should have brought my gun.” Gradually, it’s revealed that he’s reading a Grimm’s Fairy Tale to some first graders. “My dad thinks you’re a butthole,” chimes in one. “You shoulda brought your gun,” says another. Walt and H...
Another fabulous entry into the Walt Longmire series. This one taking place in Philly as Walt and Henry (plus Dog)travel east finding more trouble and more mysteries. [return]This book-and series-does what good series should do: tell a good story and push forward the series all the while reeling you...

Sheriff Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear travel to Philadelphia to visit Walt's daughter but when violence erupts they decide to bring some frontier justice to the big city. This book was a bit a a hiccup in a normally great series for me. I really missed the Wyoming setting, was not that imp...
