Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-27 00:00:00 Kris Adamson Up until now, I have not really been super impressed with the Longmire series. I found the first 3 books kind of convoluted and hard to stay interested in. I have kept going with the series because I am originally from Wyoming and I love to check out any books set there. Luckily, my struggles with Longmire have all changed with book 4. Another Man's Moccasins was great! Lots of action and mystery. Interesting characters and backstory. I definitely stayed enthralled all the way through. And, the story didn't feel as contrived and convoluted, so either it is better or I am just getting used to Johnson's style of writing. What I felt he did really well was combine two stories/mysteries. One a flashback to Longmire's time in Vietnam, the other set it modern day. The two stories reflect on each other and weave together perfectly. Not sure if Johnson spent any time in Vietnam, but it seems he researched it well and his words made me feel it and see it. It might be tough to pick up this series mid-stream, but I would definitely recommend this book over the predecessors.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-07 00:00:00 Ronald Retsch I borrowed this book from the library. I enjoyed reading this book and give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. Absaroka County Sheriff Walt Longmire is called to the scene of the body of a young Vietnamese woman. Her purse is found in a highway culvert where a homeless Vietnam Vet is living. There is a photo in the woman's purse, with a very young Walt Longmire from his time in Vietnam. The book has two threads, flashbacks to Walt's time in Vietnam, and the present day. Walt does solve the mystery of who killed the woman, but there are some twists and turns and I didn't realize who killed who until the end. I like the characters in this series and the humor in it also. Walt and his friend Henry Standing Bear have a long, serious discussion about the meaning of a sexual encounter that Walt had in the previous book. The last line made me laugh out loud. Walt has a habit of serenading his office manager, Ruby: "Ruby, don't take your love to town." Later on he sings to her again and she says something that my wife probably said to me at various times: "Please don't sing again; I don't know if my ears can take it." I recommend reading this series in order. This is book 4.
