Anna Pigeon has been promoted to District Manager, and though she likes the salary raise, is not quite sure of herself in her managerial tasks. Throughout the book, she is exquisitely patient with the mostly subordinate Randy Thigpen, and deeply compassionate toward her other ranger, Barth Dinkus, who has grown up in segregated Mississippi and is a troubled, frequently unhappy man. Anna is confronted with a dead man in his under shorts laid out on Grandma Pollys bed in the historical home that has been renovated on Park Service property. First appearances indicate he might have been involved in some sado-masochistic game that went wrong. Investigating the murder in cooperation with the Adams County Sheriff, Anna finds little cooperation from the murdered mans friends and family. Even the dead man seems to stymie the investigation. He is sadly the completely forgettable man. The most common comment about him is there werent any harm in him when trying to describe him.
There are many threads to this mystery, maybe a few too many, and it does get mired down in the middle. There is a scene where Anna is seemingly pursued by a group of good ole boy hunters in the dark that is chilling in its grotesque imagery. When Annas car gets methodically destroyed, Barr is brilliant in making sure we are sickeningly aware that the mysterious destroyer is using the car for a substitute for Anna herself. The finale is slam bang absolutely marvelous action.
I liked Annas quirky musings better than ever. She doesnt do romance too well, but this makes her more endearing. Hunting Season is very good Barr. The imagery and locale descriptions are excellent as always and most of all, she puts a laser beam of knowledge in her character developments. Worth the price in hardback.
In Ms. Barr's latest novel, Anna returns to her job as the District Ranger for the Natchez Trace, a gorgeous scenic route that goes from Memphis, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi. She encounters the same managerial problems she had with her staff in DEEP SOUTH and encounters another dead person. The body belongs to Doyce Barnette, brother of Raymond Barnette. Raymond is the town mortician as well as the leading candidate for new sheriff. Raymond is more concerned of his political aspirations instead of his brother. He is very secretive and does his best to impede the investigation. Anna has her hands full dealing with poachers, her married boyfriend, as well as someone trying to kill her.
I strongly recommend you read DEEP SOUTH before reading her latest work. There are some spoilers in HUNTING SEASON that might spoil the other Natchez Trace Anna Pigeon mystery. They are both good.
