""Any Other Name" is yet another fast-paced novel filled with Johnson's brand of Wild West humor and quick wit."--"Deseret News"
"Suspenseful and always entertaining....The 11th Walt Longmire mystery is one of the best yet."--"The Oklahoman Review"

Praise for "A Serpent's Tooth"
"Suspense propels the brisk plot, complemented by a sly sense of humor and a breathtaking look at Wyoming."--"Publishers Weekly" (Starred)
"Authentic....The story moves at a brisk pace, with room for some good-natured humor and plenty of gorgeous Wyoming scenery."--CNN.com
"A tense, action-filled story with Johnson's usual touches of humor and romance."--"Kirkus"
"Maybe [Johnson's] best one yet."--"Charleston Gazette"
"Johnson employs his trademark humor, many literary allusions, a cast readers can't help but love and Johnson's obvious love of the land he's writing about. Readers will experience the West in all its grandeur while Walt battles the evils trying to encroach upon his beloved county."--"Shelf Awareness"

Praise for "As the Crow Flies "by Craig Johnson:
AN INDIE NEXT PICK
"Walt continues to be excellent company because he's always keen to learn something from the strong Indian characters in this series...This time a wizened old medicine woman takes Walt in hand, guiding him through a Native American Church peyote ceremony deep in the woods...he [has] a vision that expands his mind and helps him solve the case."--Marilyn Stasio, "The New York Times Book Review "
"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"
"The pleasure of the series rests in Walt's narration, with its laid-back, observant, bemused recounting of events...Solid landscapes, a melange of fully fleshed characters (familiar and new), drily laconic dialogue and assorted power struggles--including Walt's endless war with Rezdawg, Henry's recalcitrant, falling-apart truck--keep the latest in this rich and satisfying series on engaging course."--"Houston Chronicle"
"Walt's voice lets readers in on his gentle and wry nature, while showcasing his devotion to bringing bad guys or gals to justice...Johnson enriches his narrative by using the setting itself as another well-developed character. Johnson's Northern Cheyenne characters defy stereotype with self-depreciating humor and strength. Chief Lolo Long and Tribal Chief Lonnie Little Bird are especially well-crafted and appealing."--"The Denver Post "
"Johnson expertly highlights his conflicted hero's dual role as father and sheriff in this deeply satisfying installment."--"Publisher's Weekly "(starred review)
"All the elements his fans love are present: lively characters, easy banter, and, of course, a touch of the supernatural. In early books, Walt was less sure of himself, but, in his eighth adventure, it makes sense that he's now the one "giving sheriff lessons." This book fits the hand like a well-worn glove."--"Booklist "
