Dry Bones audiobook – Walt Longmire, Book 11

On a sunny afternoon, while lounging in my favorite hammock in the backyard, I delved into the captivating world of “Dry Bones audiobook” by Craig Johnson. As a fan of the Walt Longmire series, I was excited to see how Johnson would continue to showcase his literary skills, and he did not disappoint.

The story revolves around the discovery of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, named Jen, within the jurisdiction of Longmire. However, the excitement quickly turns dark when the body of Danny Lone Elk is found on the same property. With millions of dollars at stake and numerous individuals and groups vying for claim, Walt, accompanied by his trusted allies, sets out to uncover the truth behind Danny’s death.

Johnson’s writing effortlessly combines elements of mystery, suspense, and a touch of humor. The intricate plot keeps you engaged from start to finish, as you try to unravel the cold case of 65 million years old. It’s a testament to Johnson’s storytelling prowess that he can seamlessly weave together a contemporary mystery with a prehistoric backdrop.

George Guidall’s narration adds another layer of brilliance to the audiobook. His voice brings the characters to life, infusing each line with the right amount of emotion. It’s almost as if you can hear the wind rustling through the trees and feel the intensity of the investigation.

“Dry Bones” not only satisfies the cravings of Walt Longmire fans but also serves as a standalone masterpiece. Johnson’s ability to blend history, suspense, and a touch of Western charm makes this audiobook a must-listen.
