About this listen

Following the events of The Longmire Defense, we return to find Walt and our familiar cast of characters from Abaroska county tasked with solving a crime even more challenging than the last.

Walt Longmire returns in this twentieth installment of the award-winning and bestselling series that has been a hit on both the page and the screen. Set in the unsoiled countryside of Wyoming, Sheriff Walt Longmire has to navigate his own increasingly complicated personal life with the ever-changing and often violent underworld that encroaches on what was once referred to as the Old West. This time, he is up against a sinister plot that could hurt the people closest to him and forever change the way he sees his beloved Wyoming.

Outstanding Audio

Craig Johnson and George Guidel make a good team. I have listened to all of the Longmier series and enjoyed every minute. Craig is one of my favorite authors and never fails to weave a great story and who better to bring it to life than George. Outstanding audio!

An enjoyable trip back to the past

I enjoyed going back to hear a story about Walt and Henry when they were younger. I hope the series continues on this path in future installments.

The Venerable team of Craig Johnson and George Guidall are the very best.

Familiar and loved characters in a fresh story about a tragic time in American history. As always I learned many things and enjoyed the unfolding of the story.

Amazing storytelling!!

Craig Johnson has expertly woven two different times for Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear. History and the choices we make. I couldn’t love Walt Longmire more and hope Mr Johnson will continue writing about him, his life and, of course, beloved Wyoming.

AND HE' NOT TO BIG TO SURF!!!

it was very interesting!! But Longmire and Craig Johnson Books are exactly like that. I will reread the book just so I know I got the storyline right. But no matter what it is an awesome book and I totally enjoyed it. Thank you Mr Johnson for another great book!!!

Narrator brings author’s story alive

I greatly enjoy listening to these novels. While I love to read, the narrator is so good that I have listened to most of the Longmire novels.

A little dragged out

I got tired of each time they were ready to leave town something else popped up. Also, I did not realize the importance of reading the book before this because the intertwined story between now and the 60s made no sense to me and was just exes that I had no interest in because I didn’t know what was going on. I don’t think that was pointed out in the synopsis and I must have bought this just based on the fact I like the series, without reading reviews.

Humorous, educational, and captivating.

subtle humor, learning about western culture before my time, and how CJ and his Walt Longmire stories have captured my. reading collection.

Keep writing CJ.

Boy Howdy

Well, if you are a Walt Longmire fan, this book fits right in with all the rest. The author uses the time slip method of switching back and forth between two times so it's almost like you are getting two stories for one in this book. The author also says in a prelude to the book that he is going to start looking back into Walt's background to tell stories that help develop the story of how Walt got to be the man he is.

The first story in this book is the follow-up to the last book where Walt is targeted by bad hombres in the house of his grandfather, where he spent lots of time growing up. There was lots of shooting and killing in this book and some rich powerful people were involved. Now an inquiry has been started into whether or not Walk was justified in killing one of them during that battle.

The second story is set in 1964 in remote Arizona. Walt and Henry have just finished college and are on their way, on a road trip, to join the military with Henry going to Louisiana and Walt to South Carolina. On their very first night on the road trip, they get lost and end up in a remote mountain town in Arizona somewhere in the vicinity of Prescott. And, of course, they find nothing, but trouble and their trip gets delayed a few days as they work to right some wrongs as only they can.

If you enjoy the series, you'll enjoy this one.

Great Performance

The reader’s voice sounded just like I would imagine Walt Longmire sounding. It was a little bit hard to follow the time changes, but now I understand it is an underlying continuum.
