Another great installment of the Longmire series。 As usual, whip-smart dialogue; especially between Walt and Henry。 This book also touches on the disproportional abuse, murder, and missing persons associated with Native American women。 As well as the dubious history of "Indian Schools。" The plot brings Walt and Henry to Montana and two different Reservations。 Walt is assisting "Rez" law enforcement in the case of a missing girl and threatening notes being sent to her sister, a basketball star wi Another great installment of the Longmire series。 As usual, whip-smart dialogue; especially between Walt and Henry。 This book also touches on the disproportional abuse, murder, and missing persons associated with Native American women。 As well as the dubious history of "Indian Schools。" The plot brings Walt and Henry to Montana and two different Reservations。 Walt is assisting "Rez" law enforcement in the case of a missing girl and threatening notes being sent to her sister, a basketball star with a chip on her shoulder。 The good sheriff even takes a whirl at coaching girl's basketball! I hope Craig Johnson continues to write these books with their great characters! 。。。more

#DaughteroftheMorningStar #NetGalleyThank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the E-arc copy of Daughter of the Morning Star。 It was another excellent addition to the Longmire series。 I liked the last couple of books, but this one was top notch。 I give it 5 stars for Longmire!

First let me say I am a huge fan of Craig Johnson and I think this book, number 17 in the Walt Longmire series, is another terrific read。 Some of his books are heavy on the actions of Walt and the other series regulars ranging from his fellow police officers to local business owners and members of the Cheyenne Indian Nation。 And some of his books have more of a mystical, almost other-worldly feel。 This book is definitely the latter as Walt joins his long time friend Henry Standing Bear to try an First let me say I am a huge fan of Craig Johnson and I think this book, number 17 in the Walt Longmire series, is another terrific read。 Some of his books are heavy on the actions of Walt and the other series regulars ranging from his fellow police officers to local business owners and members of the Cheyenne Indian Nation。 And some of his books have more of a mystical, almost other-worldly feel。 This book is definitely the latter as Walt joins his long time friend Henry Standing Bear to try and solve the mystery of a teenage girl from the reservation who has disappeared。 Adding to this tragedy is the young woman's sister, a star high school basketball player who has started getting threatening notes。 Walt and Henry are such fine men with a sense of decency and honor and I always learn something from reading these books。 The story line highlights the continued tragedy of missing Native Woman in Indian Country。 The statistics quoted in the book are truly horrifying。 I look forward to the next book where I think Walt will continue his quest to find out what has happened to so many of the missing Native children。 。。。more

I've read all of the Longmire series, and Craig Johnson has really outdone himself with this newest book。 Walt is asked by the tribal police to look into the case of a young Native woman who went missing。 An additional concern is that her sister is currently getting threatening notes。 Both women played on the school basketball team, and Walt wonders if there could be a connection。 There's also the possibility that her father, who joined up with a white supremacy group, is somehow involved。 The n I've read all of the Longmire series, and Craig Johnson has really outdone himself with this newest book。 Walt is asked by the tribal police to look into the case of a young Native woman who went missing。 An additional concern is that her sister is currently getting threatening notes。 Both women played on the school basketball team, and Walt wonders if there could be a connection。 There's also the possibility that her father, who joined up with a white supremacy group, is somehow involved。 The novel is not only exciting and impossible to put down, but also manages to bring a serious issue to the forefront, the sheer number of missing and murdered Native women。 It could be read as a stand-alone, but reading them in order provides more insight into both Walt and Henry Standing Bear。 Highly recommended。 Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for this ARC。 。。。more

Thanks to Netgalley for the arc of this one。 This one was so much better than the last。 Way more Henry Standing Bear and less Victoria Moretti which is definitely a good thing。 I like the addition of Lolo and her brother Barrett。 I'm also very intrigued by the old Indian schools and look forward to the next one and exploring Fort Pratt。 Thanks to Netgalley for the arc of this one。 This one was so much better than the last。 Way more Henry Standing Bear and less Victoria Moretti which is definitely a good thing。 I like the addition of Lolo and her brother Barrett。 I'm also very intrigued by the old Indian schools and look forward to the next one and exploring Fort Pratt。 。。。more

I was apprehensive about reading this book since I was so disappointed in the last entry of this series。 It was with some trepidation that I began to read, waiting for the foul-mouth Vic to make her presence know。 However, I a very happy to report, that the crude deputy is not prominently displayed in this very interesting story and I immersed myself into the current abysmal record of missing indigenous women on our reservations。Not only is this an exceptional mystery, but it brings to the foref I was apprehensive about reading this book since I was so disappointed in the last entry of this series。 It was with some trepidation that I began to read, waiting for the foul-mouth Vic to make her presence know。 However, I a very happy to report, that the crude deputy is not prominently displayed in this very interesting story and I immersed myself into the current abysmal record of missing indigenous women on our reservations。Not only is this an exceptional mystery, but it brings to the forefront the misery, the abuse, and the horrible life led on some of the reservations。 I do not believe this gets the publicity it deserves and this narrative of missing women from their native lands will open your eyes to the persistent problem as well as give you a good read。Highly recommended! 。。。more

My thanks to NetGalley for making an eARC of this book available to me。Such a greatly entertaining read this was。 This time around we get large portions of Henry and Dog, small yet immensely satisfying portions of Vic, and several scenes of Walt's ongoing feud with Henry's truck, Rezdawg。 We've got a nice set of mysteries to solve, more Native American culture and spirituality, and plenty of Walt's dry humor。 Pick this one up at your own risk, as you won't be able to get anything else done until My thanks to NetGalley for making an eARC of this book available to me。Such a greatly entertaining read this was。 This time around we get large portions of Henry and Dog, small yet immensely satisfying portions of Vic, and several scenes of Walt's ongoing feud with Henry's truck, Rezdawg。 We've got a nice set of mysteries to solve, more Native American culture and spirituality, and plenty of Walt's dry humor。 Pick this one up at your own risk, as you won't be able to get anything else done until you finish it。 。。。more
