Publisher Description

Park Ranger Anna Pigeon returns to face her most duplicitous foe—human nature—in Nevada Barr's New York Times bestseller, Hunting Season.

The quiet beauty of autumn on Mississippi's Natchez Trace is swiftly shattered when Anna answers a call to Mt. Locust, once a working plantation and inn, now a tourist spot. But the man Anna finds in an old bedroom is no tourist in distress. He's nearly naked, and very dead—his body bearing marks consistent with sex games gone awry. On a writing table nearby is an open Bible with ominous passages circled in red.

There are secrets that prominent men in this God-fearing country wish to keep under wraps—and Anna has stumbled into a nest of them.

"Anna Pidgeon is working the Natchez Trace after spending some time in the Glacier National Park. She works a situation at Mt. Locust in the Parkway and finds herself in several strange situations. She is falling in love. She gets many middle of the night phone calls. Life gets complicated. "

    " I like this series and this particular one was better than some of the others. I also like that Anna is actually getting a personal life. "

    " I couldn't get into this book. Ionly got to page 20. The prose was really hard to follow. I found myself reading a sentance 3-4 time3s trying to figure out what the heck she was saying. The book came highly rated but I just couldn't get going. Maybe another time I'll get through it "

    " Hmmm, I was debating between 3 and 4 stars. Just to be generous I gave it 4. I loved this book until about the last 2 chapters. It fell pretty flat at the end. Disappointing for sure, but I did enjoy reading it. I may later change it to 3.... "

    " They're all turning into Dick Francis books to me...So many similar sounding titles that you discover you've read them when you get home from the library... and like Francis - so so as mysteries go...likeable characters...especially Anna Pigeon...Love the settings in our national parks...the settings have compelled me to read more of the series "

    " This book was filled with all the annoying things I don't like about this and other authors. I've noticed before that Barr really seems to hate 'fat' people but in this book she outdid herself. She must have used the word 'fat' and other similar descriptive terms to describe 'the bad guy' and who is over-weight, in the most derogitory manner possible, about 200 times in this book. She really has a problem! Also, in her previous book, her dog was a black lab, then at the beginning of this book it was a golden retreiver, and finally her dog morphed into a golden lab....for cripes sakes! At least keep track of what kind of dog your main character has!!!! "

    " I'm going to be glad when we're done with the Natchez Trace parks... these aren't my favorite. But I'm still addicted to Anna Pigeon, so here I am anyway! I do like the respect with which Barr treats the racial and social difficulties in the area, and the murder was certainly an interesting twist! "

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.
