Title: As the Crow Flies Pdf A Longmire Mystery (Walt Longmire Mysteries Book 8)
“It’s the scenery—and the big guy standing in front of the scenery—that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson’s lean and leathery mysteries.” —The New York Times Book ReviewThe eighth Longmire novel from the New York Times bestselling author Land of WolvesEmbarking on his eighth adventure, Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire doesn't have time for cowboys and criminals. His daughter, Cady, is getting married in two weeks, and the wedding locale arrangements have just gone up in smoke signals. Fearing Cady's wrath, Walt and his old friend Henry Standing Bear set out for the Cheyenne Reservation to find a new site for the nuptials. But their expedition ends in horror as they witness a young Crow woman plummeting from Painted Warrior's majestic cliffs. Is it a suicide, or something more sinister? It's not Walt's turf, but he's coerced into the investigation by Lolo Long, the beautiful new tribal police chief.
An OK read 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.Good Plot but the story drifts more than usual I have read most of the Longmire series and enjoyed them a great deal. Johnson has a way with words that feels very genuine, especially his conversation between main characters. I have noticed in this book and the previous one that he has tended to introduce many short scenes and sidebar conversions that don't add to the character development or the plot. In fact, in this novel I would say some of the conversation and scenes were detrimental to the story. A few scenes appeared gratuitous and some just confused the plot. Not many, mind you, but enough to slow the story down. I also wonder if a few of the Cheyenne names seemed too cute to be realistic.All in all, it is a good read, but the items mentioned above reduced my enjoyment of the book.
