3.0 out of 5 stars NOT UP TO STANDARD, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Liberty Falling (Hardcover)
Just finished Liberty Falling. It was not the usual quality I expect of Nevada Barr. I grant that is a high expectation, but that is why I read her books. This story struck me as contrived. Why is she in New York? Sister is very ill, but she doesn't spend much of the book dealing with Sister or illness. Frederick the Fed does that. He kind of drifts in and out of the story; definitely there, but not really contributing to it. As a Nevada Barr book, this has to be her poorest effort. A good read, but not what I have come to expect. I hope Anna gets back out to wide open places where she can be herself. New York apparantly was not the place for her.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked the book, but please return Anna to the wilderness!, 14 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Liberty Falling (Hardcover)
I thought it was an interesting turn in the Anna Pigeon series for the story to take place in New York City, since all the other stories took place in more scenic, picturesque places like Mesa Verde and Isle Royale. Nevada Barr delivers a very puzzling murder mystery that will leave you guessing up to the very end. Not as good as Blind Descent, but a good book nontheless.

I have but two requests for the next installment:

1. True to the series, Anna gets beat up pretty bad in this book; just once I'd like to see her deliver the whooping to the bad guy!

2. PLEASE RETURN ANNA TO THE WILDERNESS! How about a murder mystery at Devil's Tower, Yellowstone, or the Great Sand Dunes?

5.0 out of 5 stars Nevada Barr turns in another winner!, 5 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Liberty Falling (Hardcover)
Nevada Barr is one of the most exciting mystery writers today, and Liberty Falling is another winner featuring Anna Pigeon, park ranger and sleuth. The writing is exquisite, observations unique, the protagonist one of the most interesting and real around. Although the New York setting is a divergence from Barr's previous outdoor venues, it works well, and takes Anna back to some painful memories of her previous life in the city. The relationship with her sister is also well done and believable, as is the mystery which centers on the Statue of Liberty. A great summer read, leaving us wanting more and more.
