As the Crow Flies A Walt Longmire Mystery Craig Johnson 9780670023516 Books

Longmire the show is true to the books in the same way that Midsomer Murders is true to Caroline Graham's books: the show captures the essence of the characters but takes liberties with plots, which keeps both formats fresh for viewers. The deviations between Longmire the show and Longmire the book-series continue to grow with each book; this book widened that gap.

On the show, Zahn McClarnon plays Mathias, the Cheyenne reservation Chief of Indian Tribal Police. I personally like McClarnon, he chooses a lot of troubled roles so I immediately began imagining Mathias as a troubled individual with a backstory I ain't been told yet.

But in the book, the tribal police chief is Lolo Long. She - yes, she - is an Iraq-veteran and new to the job.

(If Lolo hadn't been such a firecracker, I probably would have continued to plug Zahn into the role during my imaginations of the reading. Her chip-on-the-shoulder attitude made such a presence that I wasn't able to swap them out, which is probably good because it's easier to keep the books separate from the show when I don't do stuff like that.)

Lolo's a Lady Asskicker, probably the only female in Absaroka County who can go head-to-head with Vic Moretti and it will be interesting to see how these two get along in future books (because Vic stays in the background of this book).

But, for now, Lolo's lack of experience spurs Walt into sojourning to the Cheyenne Reservation where he partners up with Lolo to show her the ropes as they try to figure out why a Cheyenne woman would take a plunge over a cliff with her baby in her arms, only to use her body in a way that saves the baby. Of course, it's murder. I guessed bits and pieces of the case but wasn't able to piece everything together until Walt did.

One of my favorite things about this series: I love how personal relationships are drawn out over several books, making only brief appearances in each book. It prevents over-kill and this series, taken as a whole, is a superb example of how romances should be done.

As the Crow Flies A Walt Longmire Mystery Craig Johnson 9780670023516 Books Reviews

I had never heard of the Walt Longmire mysteries until the T.V. show, liked the show so this season I thought I would try the books. Walt Longmire, Henry Standing Bear, the Cheyenne Nation as Walt calls him and Victoria, Vic, Moretti my new favorite character who like me is Italian American and from South Philly, can't get much better than that. the characters in the books are so much more than the show. Didn't know if I would like the affair between Walt and Vic but I do and I wanted more, decided to buy another book until, I noticed that the price was up another dollar, now they were 11.00 dollars, so I got my 70 year old self to the library where I not only found more Longmire books but the very excellent, The Innocent by Baldacci, a very interesting book called The Yard about the beginnings of Scotland Yard and the murder squad, Nora Roberts Whiskey Beach, took them back and ended up getting two excellent Michael Connelly's, Harry Bosch, another Longmire, Jude Deveraux, you get the picture, 13 books that I didn't buy because I felt like I was being taken advantage of by the publishers, aka greedy bastards. I love books and have for the last 59 years. I've seen a lot of changes in the publishing world, some good, some not so good, like raising the price on some authors who still have the same writing style with no sign of improvement but somehow all of a sudden their books are worth more, I, don't think so. I have so much more to say but I don't even know if this will be seen by anybody but me, so keep reading and I hope that you get as much pleasure from reading a good book as I, do.
Cady’s getting married and that’s a problem because the wedding site she wants is not available. Henry Standing Bear, who promised Cady that he’d take care of it, has enlisted Sheriff Walt Longmire to find a suitable alternate location for his daughter’s wedding.
Unfortunately, while scouting a promising site, Henry and Walt are witness to a Crow indian woman plunging to her death from a high cliff. Was it suicide? Was she pushed? Or was it a tragic accidental fall? (I’m going to forgive author Craig Johnson at this point for a terrible pun in the title on flying crows.)
Walt is first on the scene to examine the body but is soon joined in his investigation by the FBI and a new police chief on the Cheyenne reservation whose name is Lolo Long. Lolo has just returned from a duty tour in Iraq as a medic and has an attitude as big as Wyoming. Walt adopts a conciliatory and professional relationship with Lolo as her mentor and she ratchets down her attitude to cooperate and learn.
The book takes a brief side excursion into indian mysticism as Walt accepts an invitation for a peyote smoke with several older gentlemen. Along the way, he has a conversation with a bear and one with a sassy crow who sounds a lot like undersheriff Vic Moretti. It’s not totally without value because he does get some good ideas from the crow that will help him later solve the crime.
But what about the wedding? Does Cady get hitched? You’ll have to read the epilogue to find out and I’m certain you won’t be disappointed.
