The Longmire Mystery Series Boxed Set Volumes 1-11

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He usually reads on his Kindle, but has commented several times how much he enjoyed these books. He is a retired law enforcement officer and said he found the humor realistic and he is also keenly interested in the Native American aspects of the stories. He just wishes he had more.

Great reading. Working my way through the set and purchased next two books. Only problem I see is i’ll Run out of books in about a week and have to search for something as good - which might be difficult. If you liked the TV series you’ll enjoy these. Gives a lot more depth to the characters and background. Also adds several other characters which one quickly enjoys reading about.

When we lost Tony Hillerman, and Robert B. Parker, I thought I was pretty well done with mystery stuff. I did get into the Game Warden series a little, but his repeats of mistakes he had made in the past, tired me out. Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire series is just Fantastic. Both the books and the TV series ( changed slightly for TV) I Cowboyed in Absaroka Cty (Johnson Cty,WY) and spent many hours in he Occidental Hotel Bar, as well as the Busy Bee. I love the area, and the big Horn Mtns as well. Buffalo WY is a great little town, and should not be missed if you are in the area. Be sure and see the Gatchel Meuseum when your there. Craig Johnsons series is cast so well, that Walt and crew can't be improved on very much.

I was not familiar with Craig Johnson until I saw the excellent TV series "Longmire." I enjoy the books very much, and this boxed set was a great way to read the series in order. I will buy more Johnson books.

I had been watching the Longmire series on streaming, but decided to purchase this boxed set of Craig Johnson's books. I could not be happier! The books are way better than the TV dramatization and the author really fleshes out the characters. Craig Johnson is truly a master of words, and the people in Walt Longmire's life come to life on the page. He is now one of my favored authors!

If you enjoyed the Longmire series on television, you haven't heard the half of it. It's hard to get a west coast TV executive to even pick up a book anymore, let alone read one. These books are so damned good they overcame the culture's inherent fear of the written word and a genre was reborn. The collection is a great deal, the characters are well developed, the pacing is excellent and the writing couldn't be better.

What a great series. I started out watching the show and got hooked only to have it canceled. I decided to give the books a try and took the plunge on the first nine of them. I read them all in less than six weeks--I was obsessed with them. The characters are likable, believable, and well-rounded. Walt Longmire is a person I've come to love and admire for his honesty and integrity. This is a wonderful series, and I am all caught up with the books and anxiously await Book 11 this May.

Bought this as a birthday gift for my partner, who loves the show, slightly worried that her obsession with the series would spoil the mystery for her. In less than a month she has devoured 2.5 books. Well worth the money. Readers guide in the back of each book offers interesting insight into the mind of the author. Can't wait to hit the festival!

Craig Johnson really knows how to write a mystery, but - beyond that - he writes in such a way that you feel you KNOW the characters and you feel what they feel. His "bad guys" are bad and we hate them; his "good guys" are often flawed but we love them. My husband got this full set for me for my birthday and we have now read three of his books. We just started the fourth today and cannot wait to see what happens next. We love Walt, Vic, Henry, Cady and the gang.

Thank you, Mr Johnson, for writing such riveting stories! My husband would appreciate it if Walt and Henry weren't quickly becoming my book-boyfriends, but what can ya do? ;-)
