"Nailed it. I have even smelled the "blood lure" and yes, it was nassstyy! Thought her ramblings about Glacier National Park were accurate. It is an utterly beautiful place but just as dangerous. " — H.s. (4 out of 5 stars)
"Nailed it. I have even smelled the "blood lure" and yes, it was nassstyy! Thought her ramblings about Glacier National Park were accurate. It is an utterly beautiful place but just as dangerous. "
" I read this just before I visited Glacier National Park. Her writing style causes a cringe every now and then, but she tells a great story and really makes the national parks come to life. "
" I needed to give my brain a break for reality so I read this. I enjoyed the mystery and the natural park aspect but Anna totally over analyzes every emotion and that got a little much for what I needed in a quick fun read. I'll still read more of her books but will keep that in mind. "
" Really fun read. Read in anticipation of our trip to Glacier National Park. Since this book is about bear attacks, maybe not a good idea..... "
" Although this is not my genre, I enjoyed the book's setting (Glacier National Park) and the information on Grizzlies. Since I'm not fond of series, I probably won't read the others. "
" Interesting but not as good as the other Nevada Barr book I've read: Borderline. I've always wanted to visit the Montana National Parks, so that part of this book was of interest. "
" Little far-fetched, but intriguing mystery about murder and bear scares inGlacier NP. "
" I really enjoyed this story set in Glacier ... a good mystery with great prose. I felt I was there! "
" It was ok. Started out slow then got better, didn't like the ending. She also uses quite a lot of profanity. "
" A great mystery. And Grizzly Bears are just cool. "
" Not my favourite Anna Pigeon mystery, but still a good read. "
