Summary: Not a page turner!
Review: This was my first Nevada Barr book, and I probably wouldn't read another one unless I couldn't find anything else in the library. The subject was good, but I didn't identify with the characters--I didn't really care "who did it." It was like a 2-hr movie that could have been a 1/2 hr. show. Definitely not a page-turner.

Summary: Great action; realistic characters
Review: What I've enjoyed about all Barr's books is her accurately drawn characters--I know these people (well, within reason...). Although her plot devices are occasionally a little far-fetched, I'm willing to close one eye in exchange for her fine, often even lyrical writing. (I'm a law enforcement ranger, though have never met Barr).On this book, the only thing that made me a bit twitchy was her ending--definitly not police academy approved. Still, well worth reading all her books.

Summary: Anna continues to take me to scary places.
Review: With each book, Anna grows more familiar, yet continues to surprise me. I almost broke out in blisters huddled under the fire tent with the heat of the firestorm raging. The descriptions of events and people are outstanding and the reader feels he has visited the places Anna goes and knows the people she encounters. Anna's personality continues to enrich with each book and this lady grows more and more interesting. More Anna, please.
