I did not enjoy this one as much as the usual Longmire stories because it was just plain weird. Events are revealed in a way they seem to make no sense and then gradually meld into a story. Like it predecessor, this book delves into the unnatural and Twilight Zoneish things that are a departure, and not a good one, from the Longmire genre. Please go back to the basics. Humor. Fun. Case solving. My least favorite of Johnson's 18 books in the Longmire Series. I'm a huge fan and have watched all the movies made from them. I like that he invokes Native American traditions, themes, and people, but they are usually are less dominant in his stories. This book moves from his modern Western story telling to more of a horror/fantasy genre, which isn't appealing to me. A riddle wrapped inside a mystery as Churchill once described Russia. Events are revealed in a way they seem to make no sense and then gradually tie into a believable story. A lot of reprise of old stories. I am left wondering if this is where the series ends or if pressure will keep Johnson adding to the story juat as Connan Doyle was forced to bring Sherlock Holmes back. The door is left ajar for either outcome. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

What if there was something out there in the yellowed skies, along with the deceased and the smell of ash and dust, something the Northern Cheyenne refer to as the Ã?veohtsé-heómÄ?se, the Wandering Without, the Taker of Souls? What if the only way you know who you are is because your name is printed in the leather sweatband of your cowboy hat, and what if it says your name is Walt Longmire . . . but you donâ??t remember him?

There had been a slight gap in my series reading before I picked this one up, so some names were familiar, but hard to place. Johnson does an admirable job of reminding the reader where these characters were first encountered.
The series regulars are all there: Standing Bear and Vic, working hard to provide back-up when Walt’s work leads him into danger; Cady to anchor him in the real world; and Lola to provide hope for the future and smiles as only small children can do. (
