I tend to find some of Anna Pigeon's (Barr's protagonist) musings a bit grim, but you can't beat the books for getting a good feel for atmosphere in each park in which she sets her story. I expect you'll enjoy catching up with them, Vera, and thanks for the heads up on this latest one. .-= Kerry Dexter´s last blog ..Saturday Sessions: Del Suggs on teaching music, part 2 =-.

Edie: I really wish I had thought about the tie-in earlier–could have read THREE Nevada Barrs. For the free days in June and July, in addition to August. Maybe they’ll keep having free days just for my benefit? Or I could have broadened my outlook, and read Donna’s suggestions of “Letters from Yellowstone” and other good stuff. Thanks to both of you for dropping by.

Great tie in to National Park freebies!

I love the Nevada Barr novels, though they have the problem that any series with a hero/heroine who is not a detective or member of the police has: too many dead bodies in a profession where you don’t expect them. Still, as you point out, park rangers are officers of the law. And it’s far better than books featuring caterers or cooks who continue to have a following even though bodies continue to drop all around them.

Thanks for introducing me to this series. Sounds like a great read. And I'm always pleased to see baby boomer heroines. One of my favorite novels based on a National Park is Letters From Yellowstone. Maybe you'll like it too. .-= Donna Hull´s last blog ..Tips For Making The Most Of Your Favorite Sporting Event =-.
