Product Description
Product Description
In Ill Wind, Barr's powerful new novel, Park Ranger Anna Pigeon confronts death among the ruins. Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park is noted for its well-preserved cliff dwellings, the sole legacy of the Anasazi civilization, which vanished without any other trace in the twelfth century. Separated from friends and family and haunted by personal demons, Anna finds solace in these quiet ruins, their pinon-scented turrets and towers backlit by the fading blue of distant mountain ranges. But the rugged beauty of the park and the mystery of the Anasazi are cruelly overshadowed by danger and death. An unusually high number of medical rescues and the unexpected death of an asthmatic child are followed by the sudden demise of a fellow ranger who is found neatly curled up in one of the ancient kivas, his hat and shoes at his side. Anna had thought she'd found a friend in this man, had seen him as a kindred spirit, but his death transforms him into an enigma. Puzzled and more deeply wounded than she'd ever dare admit, Anna immerses herself in the ensuing investigation. As she sifts through shifting loyalties and struggles to honor the past, she must face forces both seen and unseen which threaten her career - and her very life.

Once again Anna Pigeon must try to face her demons, those of her own past and the ones among the Anasazi ruins. Set in Mesa Verde National Park, the death of a fellow ranger and friend sets Anna on a collision course with the rumored "Old Ones," the spirits of the Cliff Palace ruins.
An exciting story on the surface, on another level we see an older, wiser, and much more introspective Anna Pigeon than before. The events bring her closer than ever to confronting her own personal issues that always seem to boil just beneath the surface.
Move over Kinsey Milhone and Kay Scarpetta. Anna Pigeon is as strong and intelligent a female character as this decade has seen!

Nevada Barr has written another great entry in her Anna Pigeon series. I would recommend that you read this series in order, as the character really grows from book to book, as do the secondary charcters. Anna's FBI friend Fredrick Stanton is back to help her as she gets involved in yet another murder in the wilderness. Anna gets herself into more trouble and again gets hurt (this woman must have more scars than a heavyweight boxer!). The story is totally engrossing and one of those that you can't put down.

Decided while visiting National Parks was a good time to check out Park Ranger Anna Pigeon. Took me a little while to "put faces" with all the characters...maybe too many characters. Book moved fast in parts and plodded in others. Anna Pigeon is a good lead and I enjoyed the writing style. Will certainly try another in the series.

Pretty Good Mystery
A little slow in a few places but the ending was definitely worth it. I liked her book Firestorm much better.
