Walt Longmire

review 1: I used to be a huge fan of the Walt Longmire contemporary Westerns, but this series has definitely gone downhill since it became a TV series. Shoddy repetitive writing becomes irritating even in genre fiction - how many time in one novel do we need to hear the main protagonists exclaim "Boy howdy"? The narrative is punctuated by regular, definitely inappropriate in the workplace lustful gropings and fumblings between Walt and his deputy. Way out of bounds of any staff code - much of the groping and tongue down throat stuff takes place while they are in uniform, on duty. The episodes of gratuitous violence which appear as regularly as the sex, scream written for TV. The storyline leans heavily on other tv shows with the flavour of the month being polygamous sects it seems. ... moreNot very well done at all. Will I bother with any more? Debatable. Sad because I used to hold this series up as the truly modern Western with humour and contemporary awareness. Another author corrupted by filthy lucre and the little screen
review 2: I have not read any of the previous Longmire series, but I may look for some more of them. This book kept my attention, had interesting characters, a good plot, and an epilogue which I always like. The narration by the sheriff kept my interest. There was mystery, romance, family relations, international problems, and small town life in Wyoming. Victoria could do a bit to clean up her language, but I know it was there to put an emphasis on her character. less
