Ill Wind: An Anna Pigeon Novel (Abridged) Audiobook

" This is my 2nd Nevada Barr book. While I liked the story OK, there was just too much bad language for me. I wonder sometimes if female authors who write about female characters feel like they need to add the F-Word to "man" them up a little; maybe toughen up their characters. I don't know, but I do know that I won't be reading any more Nevada Barr. This audio book was abridged, so I was hoping most of the trash would be left out. If that really was the case I'd hate to have read the unabridged version. "

" I forced my way through this book because she is a popular author. I just couldn't get into it. "

" A murder mystery with park rangers, what's not to like? It started off a bit slow-but ended up enjoyable and not considered a waste of time. "

" I have read several Anna Pigeon mysteries and have been a fan for quite a while. I have back tracked to this one, #3. I thought it was well done and an interesting mystery that kept me interested throughout. "

" Very Good; Continuing character: Anna Pigeon; National Park ranger investigates spirits and murder in cave dwellings. "

" thanks, amy! glad we managed not to get ourselves murdered in mesa verde. "

" Mesa Verde National Park mystery "

" Recommended (and loaned) by my uncle who also loves Tony Hillerman. The main character is a park ranger and - shockingly - wherever she goes, someone dies and she solves it. Not high literature, but pretty darn entertaining. "

" Took me a while to get into these characters but I finally am enjoying the read. "

" Anna Pigeon is cool. I was very sad to miss out on Mesa Verde Park recently, when I was in Colorado. Embarassing to say, but I wanted to visit a place where one of the books has been set. "

" This was pretty short on mystery, but the setting in Mesa Verde was great and Barr's descriptive writing is very satisfying. "

" Anna is a wonderful, compelling character. All of her books are a great read. "

" I love how you don't get a sense of 'who-dun-it' in these novels. Makes for an interesting time. "

" I enjoy all the Anna Pigeon mysteries. I love Nat'l parks and enjoy reading about them. There are a lot of pieces to this story, and the causes/connections didn't become obvious til the very end. "

" Really enjoying this series. It's light, but so are most of the series I read. The new-park-per-book locations mix things up and give us a varied cast of characters. The mysteries are creative. And I just get a kick out of Anna. "

" Another good Anna Pigeon mystery and this one is in one of my favorite parks. "

" I enjoyed the mystery behind this installment in the Anna Pidgeon series! "

" Good entry in the series. Second with Frederick Stanton. "

" Not one of her best, it tended to drag along. Maybe because I listened on CD and the reader was SOOOO dramatic, even with the parts that weren't dramatic. It wore on my nerves. "

" We read this while in Mesa Verde, which made it a little more interesting, but also seemed a disconnect from our non-murder experience of the park. "

" Read this book because I just recently spent a week at Mesa Verde. As far as mysteries go, I liked it. "

" This was not my favorite in the series. I love Anna but the other characters in this one were unrelatable and strange. "

" As usual Nevada Barr uses her Ranger experience to create a mystery set in a National Park. The descriptions make it easy visualize and imagine the setting. Had to pry myself away last night to get some sleep. "

" I was in the southwest while reading this book so it was especially fun. I think I may add this author to my mystery reading. She's prolific and I like her style "

" Having visited Mesa Verde, it was easy to identify the locations of events. The main character, Anna Pigeon, is more multifaceted than many mystery solvers and carries the story. "

" Another fun read from Nevada Barr. I especially enjoyed this one since it took place in Mesa Verde. I visited Mesa Verde a couple of years ago with Dad and thoroughly enjoyed it. "

" I love Mesa Verde, so I really enjoyed this book. "

" The story itself is interesting, the part about Anna's personal struggles not so much. "

" The third Anna Pigeon, US Wild Life services Ranger, series. Neat mysteries, good concept, strong character and well paced stories "

" This particular book might have proveded more character development of Anna than any other book in the series. "

" Read this book because I just recently spent a week at Mesa Verde. As far as mysteries go, I liked it. "

" I just visited Mesa Verde and this book really added to my trip! "

" This is the first Anna Pigeon mystery that I've read. The setting was interesting and the mystery complex enough to keep me interested. I really enjoyed this book and I will look for more in this series. "

" I learned a lot about Mesa Verde that I did not know altho I had visited there before I read the book. Barr is always dependable for a mystery escape to a national park. "

" I forced my way through this book because she is a popular author. I just couldn't get into it. "
