Review
When it comes to immersive audiobook experiences, few can rival what George Guidall brings to Craig Johnson’s The Dark Horse. Even before you’re drawn into the dust and secrets of Absaroka County, Guidall’s voice sets the tone – a masterclass in atmospheric narration that feels like stepping straight into a Wyoming twilight. From his grizzled drawl as Sheriff Walt Longmire to the subtle inflections that distinguish each supporting character, Guidall doesn’t just read; he transforms, ensuring every moment feels authentic and lived-in.
But don’t let the stellar performance overshadow Johnson’s writing – The Dark Horse is one of those rare crime mysteries that balances plot complexity with evocative prose. The story plunges listeners into a case shrouded in suspicion: Mary Barsad stands accused of killing her husband after he slaughtered her beloved horses. But as Sheriff Longmire investigates undercover, it quickly becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. Johnson crafts rural Wyoming not just as backdrop but as living, breathing character – its moral ambiguity seeping into every corner of the narrative.
What elevates this installment beyond standard whodunit fare are its layered characters and richly painted setting. Walt Longmire’s dogged pursuit for truth – equal parts grit and empathy – anchors the story amidst barroom conversations with dubious ranchers and encounters with charming side-characters like a Guatemalan bartender. These personalities linger long after chapters close, enhanced by Guidall’s uncanny ability to channel their quirks and motives.
If there’s one aspect worth noting for newcomers, it’s that The Dark Horse isn’t in a rush; instead, it unfolds deliberately, inviting listeners to savor every twist rather than race toward resolution. This measured pacing might feel slow for fans craving non-stop action but rewards those who appreciate nuanced tension and intricate plotting.
For fans of gripping mysteries or anyone who loves losing themselves in vividly rendered worlds (with characters whose flaws are all too human), The Dark Horse is an absolute gem. It’s no wonder this series has earned critical acclaim – and even inspired its own TV adaptation.
