long way to go before Longmire quality

Revisado: 03-14-21

the only reason I purchased this book was because someone compared it to the Longmire series. It's possible these authors will reach that quality sometime in the future, but they're a long way away from it right now. I had no empathy for the lead character, I could care less about his Supporting Cast, and the story was very foreseeable. it just had nothing new, no twists, nothing exciting. In fact I barely made it through 3/4 of the book, And that was a slog. for people who like to fish, the story will hold more charm. I've read books with a hook (pardon the pun) such as fishing, dogs, archaeology, but there needs to be a strong plot to retain readers through those extraneous moments. This book just didn't have that solid foundation. I hope they keep writing, and someday I hope to enjoy one of their future books. Right now they need a lot of practice.

an older, haunted Walt

Revisado: 02-15-20

I must say, Walt Longmire is one of my favorite characters. I liked this story because it brought me back to when the author's books were a little calmer and I could pay more attention to the surroundings, the plot and to Walt going in and out of his wannna-be Indian stages. I really liked this book. Could have done without the blue-eyed Indian girl, she was one character more than we needed. plus, I wanted to slap her half the time. but that's okay. We want to let slap a lot of people in life. Don't get this book for high-flying Action, get it to enjoy a reflective man in his older years coming to terms with his life.

always excellent entertainment

Revisado: 06-30-19

I do love Mayor's books. they have solid themes and excellent plots. the only place I have a little problem is with the multitude of characters. I'm really glad he keeps a base of characters, but if you take breaks from the book, you do tend to forget who's what and where. His books dig deeply into the American psyche. I love the fact that he keeps the books in the same geographical location and in Vermont you can reach a lot of different states with a short car trip. A great entertaining read and I do love listening to them on audible

so glad I found Joe

Revisado: 04-02-19

just started reading Archer Mayor's Joe Gunther series and I'm loving them. although I wouldn't want to live in his town (too many murders), the locale and people remind me of home (Michigan's Upper Peninsula). I like Joe's human frailties, his supporting cast - especially Kunkle - and the small town feel with their dark underbellies. great reading or listening.
