I must say, I'm not a big fan of mysteries in general, but I do enjoy a good Anna Pigeon thriller. This is probably the fifth of the series that I've read, and these books are good fun. My heart was even racing a little at the end. Anna Pigeon is the heroine of Nevada Barr's mystery series. A feisty ranger with the National Park Service, she continually finds herself in the middle of mysterious and/or murderous situations , always in different national parks. This time it's at Waterton/Glaci...more

I love Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon mysteries. Anna Pigeon is a great character. She's cynical, distrustful of humanity, politically incorrect, tough, smart, and loves the natural world. "Blind Descent" is still my favorite of her books, but this one comes in a close second. Probably ties it, in fact. Barr does a wonderful job of describing the beauty of West Glacier, and after reading this almost has me liking bears again. And a satisfying murder mystery on top of it all. Everythi...more

Great Book. I really enjoy the fact that Anna is a park ranger. I love the descriptions of the park and how animals always play into the story line. I love how Anna feels at home in nature and fights to protect it. Definatly a good author to try for anyone who loves nature and animals, as well as mystery. Anna Is helping with a research project in Glacier National park when strange events begin to happen. First their camp is Ravaged by a bear, then a woman is found dead. Is there a bear killing...more

recommended to Anne by: Justin randomly brought this home from the library for me!
recommends it for: anyone looking for a smart mystery series with a lively and complex heroine
This one of my favorites of the Nevada Barr books featuring Ranger Anna Pigeon. It features an Earthwatch (the organization where I work) research project on bears.

All of the Anna Pigeon mysteries are great page-turners, perfect beach reading and also really good audiobooks. A fine bunch of books to take traveling or on vacation.

The first Anna Pigeon book that I read, and also my favorite. She always does a great job describing the parks where the books are set, so reading this made me want to visit Glacier Park even more than I already did. It also helped out a little bit with my fear of being eaten by grizzly bears!

This Anna Pigeon, park service ranger, takes place in Glacier National Park in Montana, where Anna is learning about use of DNA in the parks. The entanglements are puzzling, and then Anna' several contacts with a grizzly bear had my heart beating in my throat.

Love the whole "series". Anna Pigeon is a great character and I love reading about the National Parks - especially ones I've been too. After a while the pacing gets predictable, but they make entertaining lighter reading, without being too graphic.

This installment of the Anna Pidgeon park ranger mystery series sees her tracking and studying grizzly bears when there a re a series of bear attacks and missing persons. Entertaining, especially if you like bears and a feisty non-urban heroine.

Nevada Barr is one of my less favorite mystery writers. I love the national park settings and the outdoors. I love the her independence. But this one just didn't do it for me.

Since I'm re-reading Nevada Barr's books and I'm going to Glacier National Park, I thought I should re-read this one while I'm there. I hope I can sleep at night in the tent!!

This is another good read from Nevada Barr for her Anna Pigeon series, when as I recall, it deals with bears and other animals. Another good suspenseful read.

Not the best of the Anna Pigeon mysteries, as it truly strains believability, but I love Glacier Park, so I enjoyed the story.

I just love it when an author shuns cynicism and lets the animals win once in a while. That's what I love about this book.

It was suspenseful, but the ending let me down as it was a little fantasical.
