Average Rating: 
Rating: - Anna Pigeon on the prowl... for a murderer!
Track of the Cat, by Nevada Barr, is the first book in a series featuring Anna Pigeon, a law enforcement officer for the National Park Service. Since Barr has been a park ranger in the past (present?), including Guadalupe Mountains National Park, the location for this novel, she writes with the authority of place knowledge.
In Track of the Cat, Anna Pigeon finds a dead colleague. The medical examiner calls it a case of death by mountain lion predation. Pigeon thinks otherwise, and ... Read More
Rating:  - Warmth and Affection Plus Adventure
Another great Nevada Barr mystery . . . this one not as dark as say, Hard Truth (Anna Pigeon Mysteries), but nonetheless, still full of adventure, action, mystery, emotion, and a behind-the-scenes look at one of our National Parks--this one in Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas close to El Paso and the Mexican border.

Rating: - Auspicious beginning for a fine series.

Each carefully chosen word will hold your eye to the page and bring you back for more.

Rating: - Look Forward to the Rest in the Series
First in the Anna Pigeon Series. Years ago I was told that this was a great series, but I just didn't believe the person who told me. Guess I should have. Anna is a National Park Ranger and when two of her fellow rangers have mysterious deaths Anna investigates, almost gets herself killed. Anna will question many things in her life, but she makes for a great character.
Rating: - Murder in the Back Country
When the National Park Service puts a bounty on a killer mountain lion, it rubs National Park Ranger Anna Pigeon's fur the wrong way. It's a knee jerk reaction from the Park's leadership: Mountain Lion Attack! Kill the animal first, ask questions later. Or maybe no questions need to be asked at all. Something stinks at the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and it's not just the brutal death of a fellow park ranger whose half eaten dead body was found by Anna in the back country. It's the naturalist ... Read More
