Waiting for a long western train to go by in the dark of
night gives a man time to reflect. He knows he is
desperately wanted in Philadelphia where Cady, his only
child is waiting to give birth to his first grandchild, yet
when old Lucian Connally, the ex-Sheriff of Asaroka,
Wyoming call in a favour, Walt Longmire, the current
Sheriff, knows he has to go along for the ride.
This is a dark duty. Gerald Holman, a cop buddy of
Lucian's had committed suicide. His widow, Phyllis, does
not believe that could be the case and wants them to
investigate. As Walt states digging, he discovers an
interesting pattern in the cold file cases that Gerald had
been investigating before he supposedly killed himself.
But, as Walt investigates and pulls the rug up in the
snowy small towns in Wyoming to see what is underneath, he
discovers a lot of ruthless people who will stop at nothing
to stop Walt from finding out the truth. Once off and
running on a case, Walt does not back down, but Cady needs
him. Time is rapidly running out. What can he do? What are
people covering up and why is he suddenly in so much
danger?
ANY OTHER NAME is the eleventh book in the Walt Longmire
Mystery series by the bestselling and very talented
writer
Craig Johnson and it is sure to be a top whistle blowing
hit with his many fans, both from the pure entertainment
and suspense provided by his previous books and as well as
from the hit A&E TV series, Longmire, based on and inspired
by the Longmire books.
I have to confess that I just love Johnson's books: they
are very well researched, full of memorable and very
colourful and difference characters, and totally unexpected
and suspenseful plot developments. I also particularly
like the way Craig Johnson is so masterful in weaving in
very interesting and unexpected tidbits of information and
making them naturally part of the plot.
ANY OTHER NAME is darker that some of his earlier words and
as a reader, you will be quickly swirled into the blustery
and blinding western snowstorms and feeling every bit of
adrenalin and pain that Walt experiences. Yet, offsetting
that darkness is the brightness of the wit and dialogue
that burns and crackles like a bonfire in the night,
sending off unexpected sparks of delight. These sparks
certainly flare when Vic Moretti, Walt's undersheriff,
arrives on the scene in a most unexpected way.
ANY OTHER NAME certainly captivates my attention and I am
sure readers will find it equally engrossing and dramatic
all the way through to its perfect 10 of an ending! If you
have never read a Longmire book before, this is the
time to
get onboard; if you are already a fan, you know this is the
ticket to a wonderful read! It is an exciting train ride
you will definitely not want to miss! Enjoy!
