Publisher Description
Nevada Barr quickly attracted the attention of mystery fans when her first Anna Pigeon mystery, Track of the Cat, appeared. Now she immerses the intrepid park ranger in a perilous search that will take her far below the waters of Lake Superior. As Anna spends her days patrolling its shores, the surface of Lake Superior fills with tourists. In the depths below lie an ancient ship and the bones of its sailors. But when two tourists dive down to see the wreck, they discover that a new body has joined the skeletal crew. As Anna tries to discover how and why, she encounters secrets darker and more deadly than the waters surrounding the corpse. Filled with suspense, A Superior Death is also laced with Anna Pigeon's self-deprecating humor. With Barbara Rosenblat's spirited narration, you'll immediately be scanning the splendid setting and looking for clues through the eyes of the savvy naturalist.

"Quickly becoming a new favorite. Anna is tough and almost fearless. This one was about diving which was kinda neat to read about. Never really experienced a read like that. Love to feel like I'm apart of the action and this one really puts you under the water. I thoroughly enjoy Barr's fast forward style of writing too. Craving the next one already. Long Live Oscar!! <3"

" This had a couple of twists that I just didn't see coming... and I will admit, I love it when the bad guy ends up being a gal. :) I've read so many Anna Pigeon mysteries and I'm kind of out of sequence. I need to fill in a few more gaps before I've read them all. "

" A most enjoyable read, with a very clever and strong heroine...my favorite kind! "
— Carmen, 1/30/2014 -
" This was the second Anna Pigeon book that I read, and probably one of my favorites. I'm not sure how I feel about Lake Superior-- I don't want to be cold & damp in the middle of the summer!-- but I liked reading about it. "
— Jennifer, 1/23/2014 -
" so i am getting into these nevada barr books because the main character is a women (yeah) plus she is a park ranger (double yeah) these are fun quick mystery reads - the best part about her books is that she does an excellent job of describing the parks - this was a fun one for me because i read it before i went out to isle royale (the park the book takes place) plus she talks about lake superior and duluth... which i love to read about of course! "

" Was a good read...Not as gripping as 13 1/2 but pretty good read, nonetheless. Great characters and build... "
— Donna, 1/14/2014 -
" I didn't finish this book, but I caouldn't take reading any more about how wonderful MIchigan's Great Lakes are and not being able to go there myself. "

" This is the best of Nevada Barr's mysteries. It is especially good when read in Isle Royale National Park. "
— Jacqueline, 1/1/2014 -
" My introduction to the Anna Pigeon books, bought from the NPS gift shop on Isle Royale. This book was what made me want to be a park ranger. "
— Jessie, 12/31/2013 -
" Anna Pigeon is at a national park on Lake Superior where a body is found in an old shipwreck. "
— Kari, 12/14/2013 -
" I'm finding it's interesting to re-read mysteries. I remember some parts of the story but not all of the details. I really enjoy the fact that this series is set in National Parks. "
— Suzanne, 12/12/2013 -
" Book Two of the Anna Pigeon Mysteries "
— Arizonagirl, 12/7/2013 -
" Follow Anna Pigeon as a National Park Service Law Enforcement officer and learn about all the different National Parks, the big and the small. This is an author that I have read a lot of and have added her books to my 'keeper' book shelf. Most I have read at least twice and some even more than that. "

" As usual, a lovely job evoking a sense of place, and in this case a bit of claustrophobia. There was one element, a sub-sub plot, that was a bit of an overreach and more titillating that Nevada usually does, but I can let it go. "
— Dharma, 6/4/2013 -
" Better than the last Anna Pigeon novel, but that's not saying much. The series is "just ok." "
— Melanie, 3/20/2013 -
" very tedious to read due to the lack of punctuation. "
— Monique, 11/30/2012 -
" Still loving Nevada Barr and her alter ego Anna Pigeon. I'm not even a mystery fan. "
— Karen, 10/17/2012 -
" Entertaining....I liked it. Excited to read more. "
— Hannah, 2/17/2012 -
" I've just discovered Nevada Barr, a writer with the eye of both a naturalist and a mystery writer. Well worth reading. "
— Liz, 11/14/2011 -
" I was surprised because I always thought that Anna Pigeon was a park ranger in West Texas--which she was in the first one. In this the second Anna Pigeon book she is a ranger on Lake Superior! Quite a switch. The story was interesting enough. Light reading "
— Alice, 10/15/2011 -
" The second in the Anna Pigeon series, and I'm definitely going to continue reading the rest! This one made me yearn to explore the shores of Lake Superior. Fun charaters (the bear is the best), and a surprise who-done-it. "
— Catherine, 9/7/2011 -
" Enjoyed.. Learned some about diving "
— Jillian, 9/3/2011 -
" Good mystery with scary diving scenes. "
— Lee, 6/17/2011 -
" Barr writes more than who dun its. Her writing presents us pictures of our national treasures and I relish visualizing her presentation of the parks along with very well written mysteries. "
— Luisa, 4/27/2011 -
" Not one of my most favorite Anna Pigeon mysteries, but far better than some of the stuff that passes for "mystery" these days. "
— Vicki, 1/18/2011 -
" Considering my fear of water, this one truly captured the feelings, emotions and situations that are sure to terrify me. We also have a compelling mystery and meet some interesting new characters, some of which we see again in other installments. "

About Nevada Barr
Nevada Barr was born in the
small western town of Yerington, Nevada, and raised on a mountain airport in
the Sierras. Pushed out of the nest, she fell into theatre, receiving her BA in
speech and drama and her MFA in acting before making the pilgrimage to New York
City, then Minneapolis. For eighteen years she worked on stage, in commercials
and industrial training films, and doing voiceovers for radio. During this time
she became interested in the environmental movement and began working in
National Parks across the country during the summers. Woven throughout these
seemingly disparate careers was the written word. Nevada wrote and presented
campfire stories, taught storytelling, and was a travel writer and restaurant
critic. She has won both the Agatha and Anthony awards for best first mystery.
