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.

"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)
" 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. "
— Frank, 5/2/2011" 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. "
— Elizabeth, 3/29/2011" Really fun read. Read in anticipation of our trip to Glacier National Park. <br/> <br/>Since this book is about bear attacks, maybe not a good idea..... "
— Laura, 2/19/2011" 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. "
— Judy, 2/4/2011" 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. "
— Bill, 2/2/2011" Little far-fetched, but intriguing mystery about murder and bear scares inGlacier NP. "
— Karen, 1/3/2011" I really enjoyed this story set in Glacier ... a good mystery with great prose. I felt I was there! "
— Edna, 12/29/2010" It was ok. Started out slow then got better, didn't like the ending. She also uses quite a lot of profanity. "
— Jaimemcdermott, 11/17/2010" A great mystery. And Grizzly Bears are just cool. "
— Beth, 11/3/2010" Not my favourite Anna Pigeon mystery, but still a good read. "
— Bill, 10/29/2010Nevada 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.
