Book Description:
When Anna answers a call to historic Mt. Locust, once a producing plantation and inn on Mississippi's Natchez Trace Parkway and now a tourist spot, the last thing she expects to encounter is murder. But the man Anna finds in the stand's old bedroom is no tourist in distress. He's nearly naked, and very dead, his body bearing marks consistent with an S&M ritual gone awry. On a writing table nearby is an open Bible, ominous passages circled in red.
It seems the deceased is the brother of Raymond Barnette, local undertaker and a candidate for sheriff, who wants to keep any hint of kinkiness out of the minds of the God-fearing populace. Ray may be hiding a house full of secrets in the old family homestead, but before Anna can start her investigation, she's waylaid by malevolent poachers, peevish coworkers, and a suddenly turbulent romantic life. And when hidden agendas and old allegiances are revealed, it's suddenly Anna's life that's on the line.

I'd forgotten how well done Nevada Barr's books are and what terrific detail they contain about the various National Parks. This book is set in Mississippi's Natchez Trace and Barr's experience as a park ranger shows clearly in her obvious love for nature in all forms. Series lovers will not be disappointed, newcomers to the series can read this standalone, but it is better if you move through the series in order as there is some character resolution from earlier books.

One of her best in Anna's story .. love all of them, the descriptions of the various parks never cease to take you back to nature.
Elizabeth M. (Nevada Barr writes beautifully, I always enjoy her books. Once you have read about the National Park she features you feel like you have actually been there. Nice balance of romance and suspense; educational too!
Colleen H. (I am truly enjoying this series. Anna Pigeon is one feisty lady! I enjoy also reading about our National Parks.
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 had stumbled into a nest of them.
I like all the books in this series, set in National Parks
From back of book:
Park Ranger Anna Pigeon is back on the Natchez Trace with poachers, grave robbers, a romance and of course, a murder... The slightly spooky goings-on give the tale a pleasant chill, and Barr keeps the story's intensity high until the edge-of-your-seat conclusion. Along with her trademark elucidation of the wonders of nature, she never fails to illuminate human nature as well"

Lois S. (Always a good read. Anna Pidgeon is a park ranger dealing with the great outdoors and solving mysteries along the way.
I love the Nevada Barr Anna Pigeon series. Anna is a forest ranger and gets into some very interesting situations.
