Twelve short stories featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire and the regular Absaroka County cast previously released separately have now been gathered together on audio--along with one new story--fittingly delivered by George Guidall, who narrates the Longmire novels. Guidall's stellar insight into the characters and their motivations continues to grow with each new production. Every time he seems perfect he tops himself as he keys into the delicate balance of spiritual concerns, compassion, humor, and social commentary. These elements come through in each story, but especially so in "Ministerial Aid." Guidall embodies Walt's concern for his citizens, his amusement at a character's belief that he's Jesus, and his shock at the fury rained on an abusive husband. Every story is an aural treat delectable enough to revisit. J.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine -

The perfect way to bide your time between the release of a new full-length Walt Longmire mystery and the start of the next season of A&E’s Longmire, this story collection featuring the iconic Wyoming sheriff is a must. Johnson (Any Other Name) pens a new Longmire tale every December, and now they’re all available in one volume, including a brand new story, “Petunia, Bandit Queen of the Bighorns.” (Petunia is the name of a prized sheep with an unusual wool pattern resembling her floral namesake.) Several entries delve deeper into Walt’s past, especially his relationship with his deceased wife, Martha. In “Slick-Tongued Devil,” set six years after Martha’s death, Walt encounters a Bible salesman who ignites a flare of grief for the sheriff when he insists that Martha just recently ordered a new Bible. On a lighter note, Walt and the elderly Cheyenne Lonnie Little Bird—a series character readers whom will instantly recognize—help foil a poorly executed diner robbery in “Old Indian Trick.” These brief snippets of Walt Longmire’s life underscore his solid position as one of the most memorable characters in crime fiction today. Six-city author tour. Agent: Gail Hochman, Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents.
