Another Man's Moccasins (Walt Longmire, #4)

Up until now, I have not really been super impressed with the Longmire series. I found the first 3 books kind of convoluted and hard to stay interested in. I have kept going with the series because I am originally from Wyoming and I love to check out any books set there. Luckily, my struggles with Longmire have all changed with book 4.
Another Man's Moccasins was great! Lots of action and mystery. Interesting characters and backstory. I definitely stayed enthralled all the way through. And, the story didn't feel as contrived and convoluted, so either it is better or I am just getting used to Johnson's style of writing.
What I felt he did really well was combine two stories/mysteries. One a flashback to Longmire's time in Vietnam, the other set it modern day. The two stories reflect on each other and weave together perfectly. Not sure if Johnson spent any time in Vietnam, but it seems he researched it well and his words made me feel it and see it.
It might be tough to pick up this series mid-stream, but I would definitely recommend this book over the predecessors.

Wow, small world! Not often I hear about other people from Wyoming related to people I know.
Great minds, they say! 😃😃😃

I think most of the residents of Star Valley are distant relatives. My sister-in-law lived in Casper for a while. I had a college roommate from Greybull.

Wow! Cool! I was born in Laramie. For a while I lived at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. And, for a very short time, I lived in Centennial - which is where Annie Proulx lives.
Ha! I have heard people in Utah go to the Wyoming border to buy their beer and liquor, too. Not sure if that is still a thing, but you reminded me of that!
Oh, cool! Yeah, they hardly ever film shows and movies set in Wyoming in the state itself. I guess the filming requirements, costs, laws, etc. make it too difficult to do.
Thanks! I still have yet to try the series. Maybe when I am done reading the series I will give it a go.

It's pretty good, but I imaging the books are way better! :)
Oh, yeah! Wyoming is awesomely beautiful. It does have some expanses of not much, but those are kind of awesome, too, with the mountains in the distance, big blue skies, etc.
I’ve been to Pueblo Bonito in New Mexico in the fall; so gorgeous!
Joe Pickett is sooooo much better. I think this is the first Longmire review I have done where I didn't mention that!
