The Anna Pigeon mysteries are a New York Times best-selling series. Each addition is eagerly anticipated by fans of its award-winning author Nevada Barr, who uses her experience as a park ranger to create stunningly authentic details. Blood Lure takes Park Ranger Anna Pigeon high into Glacier Park and deep into a grisly murder case. Anna has joined a bear research team in the vast park that spreads from Montana into Canada. They hope to gather enough information to form a picture of its Grizzly bear population. Instead, one terrifying night, a bear finds them. By morning, their camp is in ruins, and the youngest member of the team is missing. A few hours later, the body of a camper is discovered the neck broken and face mutilated. As Anna sets out to find what, or who, is responsible for the carnage, her search will stretch all her resources, physical, mental, and moral, to new limits. Audie Award-winning narrator Barbara Rosenblat's voice is perfect for Anna, capturing all her courage and vulnerability.

I like mountains and stories that include them, especially the National Parks of America. Anna Pigeon, Park Ranger extraordinaire, is again in her element doing the work she loves, thrown into a dangerous assignment of investigating a murder in the back country of Glacier Nat'l Park in Montana. The author has woven a story of mystery and suspense in high mountain atmosphere, describing the Flora, fauna and the Grizzlies who roam there. With her wonderful descriptive phrases, she paints a visual picture in our minds: "skittering of a weasel tail vanishing down a hole", was a thought in Anna's mind as she observed a suspect when questioned, is just one example. I love the Author's intuitive descriptive writing, and will be following and reading all her stories about Ranger Anna Pigeon! I think you will agree.Product details

Blood Lure (Audible Audio Edition) Nevada Barr Barbara Rosenblat Recorded Books Books Reviews
Park ranger Anna Pigeon has been sent to Glacier National Park to be a part of the Bear DNA Project. The adventure begins when the researcher's camp is destroyed in the middle of the night by a bear. Elsewhere in the park a woman is found dead. Anna fires up her little gray cells to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together. Following the clues in this mystery is like watching a drama behind a filmy curtain. You think you know what is going on, but you can't be sure until the curtain is finally removed. As always, Barr's talent for describing landscapes brings the reader right into the story's setting. Even if you've never been in a wilderness, you are bound to feel a connection here. A few errors in punctuation and sentence structure, mentioned by another reviewer, are troublesome at times. But these errors are easily forgiven because the story is just so very entertaining.
I am a very big fan of Anna Pigeon, and I found this book to be better than the average for the series. Since I find the series as a whole to be far far better than most, this is great praise from me.
I always dread the mystery story review that gives away too much of the plot, so unfortunately I must speak in generalities. All I will say is that in this story the National Park is Glacier and that grizzly bears are involved. Since you learn this on page 1, this is not much of a plot-spoiler. Like the other books, this one benefits greatly from the author's extraordinary facility in describing the physical and the psychological aspects of the natural world from which Anna derives her strength. I also admire the author's unusual ability to let her character mature and change - Anna seems to be truly living her life in front of our eyes. From the self-pitying, alcoholic but stunningly competent ranger in the first book she has matured into a reflective, sober, observant, irreverant and stunningly competent (even more than usual) ranger in this book. Contrast Kinsey Milhone (I also like that series, by the way), who seems to be the same in every book. Another plus for this book is the characterizations of the supporting players - not many of them, but very well detailed. I very much enjoyed the description of everything to do with bears - seemingly based on solid research, and totally fascinating. Unlike the reviewers who speak of trick endings, I found the plotting of this book to be meticulously fair (and absolutely riveting), to the point where I actually managed to figure out the mystery before it was revealed, and I found it very satisfying. OK, maybe the final resolution (I wish I could describe it but you'd never forgive me) is a little strained, but it truly could not be otherwise.
Stayed up all night reading this book! A great read with all the excitement Nevada Barr continues to bring to starved readers ..... just looking for a good, well written novel!
In this book Anna is in Glazier National Park on a temporary project. She's joining bear researchers on their rounds, gleaning knowledge that might help with managing wildlife back in her home park in Mississippi. The bear research is quite fascinating.
While she's there collecting bear DNA, a female camper is hideously murdered. The mutilation of the woman's face suggests a bear attack, but Anna suspects human agency.
Anna is permitted to help with the investigation, which involves lots of interviewing and internet research. The plot is enlivened by terrifying encounters with grizzly bears and an even more dangerous human.
Anna's abilities to take on strenuous hikes and to fight for her life seem undiminished by her age. She's in the mid-forties now, and getting grayer with every book.
The reader needs strong nerves to camp with Anna in bear country, but the beauty of the wildflowers, the purity of the air – and the charming ending to the story more than compensate for the terror you're likely to experience.
Another satisfying entry in a totally addictive series.
NO SPOILER HERE! I will not give you a “Reader’s Digest” condensed version of this book.
Nevada Barr’s Anna Pigeon series is an exceptional creation. It is unique in that each one of the books is set in a different National Park, though there are some doubles. Ms. Barr’s descriptions of the park, the inner workings of the National Park System, history, environment, flora, fauna and applicable issues make reading these mysteries a fulfilling adventure. Like many such series, it will serve the reader well to read them in order. This isn’t necessary as each mystery will stand alone quite well. But Anna’s personal story is the thread that makes the series complete. Anna herself is a masterful creation. Human, flawed, introspective, complex, she is the window through which the reader sees much of the beauty our National Park System has to offer. From Mesa Verde, the Florida Keys, Lake Superior to environments that are dry, wet, cold, and hot, the drastically changing settings and Anna’s evolving personal life keep this series fresh and engaging. It will be no surprise to the reader that Ms. Barr is a former Park Ranger. I’ll admit I haven’t read the last three books in the series – with good reason. They are my emergency kit. When I have waded through a piece of substandard literary junk and need a dose of quality writing, an Anna Pigeon mystery is a perfect fix.
I like mountains and stories that include them, especially the National Parks of America. Anna Pigeon, Park Ranger extraordinaire, is again in her element doing the work she loves, thrown into a dangerous assignment of investigating a murder in the back country of Glacier Nat'l Park in Montana. The author has woven a story of mystery and suspense in high mountain atmosphere, describing the Flora, fauna and the Grizzlies who roam there.
