Nevada Barr is an excellent author who has her heroine, Anna Pigeon, work as a Park Ranger at various National Parks. The books evoke a longing to visit these places of natural beauty. This book takes place at the Isle Royale National Park on the North Shore of Lake Superior. I loved the story, as I have always been fascinated by the Great Lakes and the beaches and parklands that frame them. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and Lake Michigan was our playground. These amazing inland seas are awe inspiring, and this book is worthy of its setting.

Another of Anna Pigeon's mystery series set in Minnesota on the shores of Lake Superior. Suspensful, unable to put it down, as are all of the Anna Pigeon series.

National Park Ranger Anna Pigeon has been reassigned to Lake Superior in Michigan. This is quite a change of scenery for her, having spent most of her career in desert settings. Among the shipwrecks in the lake is the Kamloops, a ship that sunk in 1927 with 5 sailors still aboard. Things begin to get interesting when a pair of recreational divers comments that one of the bodies looks so good, it’s as if the person died just yesterday. When one of the locals turns up missing, Anna hopes the extra body with the wreck isn’t his but unfortunately it is. Now Anna must determine who the killer is and why, not knowing that she could be walking into danger herself.

A Superior Death by Nevada Barr is the second entry in the popular Anna Pigeon series. This time the action takes place on Lake Superior in Michigan. I believe that part of the success of this series is that Barr periodically implements a change of scenery, which opens up new and fresh plot options. As a Federal employee myself, I can relate to the bureaucracy within which she works. Barr writes in a way that lets us get to know Anna and the assortment of colorful characters she lives and works with. This series is always an enjoyable read and I look forward to catching up on the rest of the series and look forward to hearing more from Anna Pigeon. I can heartily recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery without gore or tedious details.
