Review
Few audiobooks capture the raw spirit of the American West quite like Craig Johnson’s A Serpent’s Tooth. From the moment you press play, you’re swept away into the windswept plains and tight-knit communities of Wyoming – where every shadow hints at secrets and every sunrise brings a new layer of mystery. While many installments in the Walt Longmire series have garnered praise, this ninth entry stands out for its deft interweaving of suspense, moral complexity, and immersive atmosphere.
The story opens with Sheriff Walt Longmire facing one of his most confounding cases: a murder that shakes the foundation of Durant’s rural tranquility. The victim – a wealthy rancher – sparks an investigation rife with tangled relationships and simmering tensions. Johnson expertly crafts a plot that never feels rushed; instead, it steadily draws listeners deeper as each clue reveals another facet of small-town intrigue. Themes of faith, loyalty, and personal codes are explored without ever overshadowing the pulse-pounding momentum.
What truly sets this audiobook apart is its narration. George Guidall returns as Longmire’s trusted voice, delivering a performance that’s both commanding and quietly compassionate. His gravelly timbre captures not just Longmire’s stoic resolve but also the vulnerability beneath the sheriff’s rugged exterior. In this production, Chris Eyre joins Guidall – his authentic portrayal lending fresh energy and cultural resonance to Native American characters and perspectives within the narrative. The interplay between these two narrators adds nuance and depth, elevating already well-drawn characters into living presences who linger long after listening.
Penguin Audio ensures top-tier sound quality throughout; ambient effects are subtle but effective, never detracting from Guidall’s steady cadence or Eyre’s poignant contributions. At just over twelve hours in length, A Serpent’s Tooth provides an experience that’s richly detailed yet never drags – a testament to both Johnson’s plotting prowess and the skillful performances at its core.
While some listeners may find certain passages deliberate in pace or densely layered with character backstories, those very details are what make Johnson’s world feel so real. As Longmire unravels motives behind acts both noble and nefarious, listeners will find themselves pondering their own values in relation to justice on America’s last frontier.
In sum: A Serpent’s Tooth isn’t just another crime novel – it’s an introspective journey through landscape and conscience alike. Whether you’re revisiting old friends or meeting Walt Longmire for the first time, this audiobook promises suspenseful storytelling at its finest.
