About this listen

Craig Johnson’s rough-and-tumble hero Walt Longmire is quickly becoming a fan-favorite and a critical success.

Here Walt has his hands full as greedy land developers employ shady, violent methods to reverse their fortunes in recession-racked Wyoming, where the owners of a multi-million dollar development of ranchettes want to get rid of the adjacent junk-yard. When a severed thumb is discovered in the yard, conflicts erupt, and Walt Longmire, his trusty companion Dog, life-long friend Henry Standing Bear, and deputies Santiago Saizarbitoria and Victoria Moretti find themselves in a small town that feels more and more like a high plains pressure cooker.

Critic reviews

“It’s the scenery—and the big guy standing in front of the scenery—that keeps us coming back to [these] lean and leathery mysteries.” ( New York Times Book Review)

Some humor with your murders

Warning: don't listen to the opening scene while driving; you might laugh so hard that you end up in a ditch. The marked humor in this one makes it my favorite of the six Longmire books I've read and listened to so far, a welcome relief from the grimmer stories, even despite the sub-freezing temperatures and snow that I dislike as much in novels as in life. With George Guidall narrating, this series is better heard than read.

One element that grows tiresome is the way Longmire has to get physically beat up in every novel and give his all in a last-ditch chase, battling his injuries, the elements, and circumstances. It's a convention of the genre but stretches one's suspension of disbelief. Fortunately, you can even laugh about the injuries in Junkyard Dogs.

Still going strong!

As always, I loved this chapter of the Walt Longmire saga. The narration is perfect and the story has just enough humor to make a perfectly well rounded mystery.

Wit in Wyoming

The funniest book in the Longmire series. Snow, murder and too many one-liners to count.

Might be my favorite in this series.

Can't it to download to my iTouch!!!!!!!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Having to read it - won't transfer. Email response from you didn't help 1 iota!!! Get someone who knows how to trouble shoot.

Has Junkyard Dogs turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I love this author. I had to buy the book to read it. Craig Johnson is a great writer and I can't wait to see the TV show Longmire.

Would you be willing to try another one of George Guidall???s performances?

YES. He was a great reader for this book - at least the other 4 that I could get to copy to my iTouch.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Junkyard Dogs?

I'm still reading it and so far enjoying it all.

Any additional comments?

I need some help getting my iTouch to work on your site. Can you add it to your list of Devices please?

One of my favorites!

Where does Junkyard Dogs rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was one of my favorites in the Walt Longmire series!! It took awhile to get into the story in the beginning but it was DEFINITELY worth it!

Ya gotta watch out for em!

There are two parts of the story that I laughed until I cried. Mostly charming sometimes hysterically funny, and a decent story to go with it all. I still have a problem matching Craig Johnson's voice to my vision of The Sherriff, but getting there. His interpretation of everyone else is spot on as far as I am concerned.

Walt never fails

I can't say this enough, best modern day sherif novel I've read. The series is excellent, I just wish there was a discount for buying the entire series at once!
