AS THE CROW FLIES

Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire and his friend Henry Standing Bear watch in horror as a Native American woman falls from a cliff on the Cheyenne Indian Reservation. It’s soon apparent that it was no accident, and Walt is called in to help find the murderer. Narrator George Guidall’s excellent character portrayals make it easy for listeners to overlook a few bumpy scenes as he plays up the intriguing aspects of life on the res’ and the humor sprinkled throughout the story. He’s especially impressive as Henry Standing Bear, whose voice alone makes the listener want to know more about the character. This is a notable example of a superb narrator taking a book to greater heights. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2012]
