Review Quotes: "A top-notch tale of complex emotions and misguided treachery. . . . Crow is a superb novel steeped in the culture of the American West." --USA Today

Praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series

"It's the scenery--and the big guy standing in front of the scenery--that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson's lean and leathery mysteries." --The New York Times Book Review

"Johnson's hero only gets better--both at solving cases and at hooking readers--with age." --Publishers Weekly

"Like the greatest crime novelists, Johnson is a student of human nature. Walt Longmire is strong but fallible, a man whose devil-may-care stoicism masks a heightened sensitivity to the horrors he's witnessed." --Los Angeles Times

"Johnson's trademarks [are] great characters, witty banter, serious sleuthing, and a love of Wyoming bigger than a stack of derelict cars." --The Boston Globe

"The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence." --The New York Times

"[Walt Longmire] is an easy man to like. . . . Johnson evokes the rugged landscape with reverential prose, lending a heady atmosphere to his story." --The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Stepping into Walt's world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and it's where those slippers lead that provides a thrill. Johnson pens a series that should become a 'must' read, so curl up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride." --The Denver Post

"Johnson's pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps." --Entertainment Weekly
