Synopsis

Nevada Barr's award-winning mystery series captivates fans with vividly drawn wilderness settings and the resourceful sleuth, middle-aged park ranger Anna Pigeon. Deep South portrays Anna boldly confronting hostile teenagers, suspicious locals, and a resentful "old-boy" network as she struggles to solve a gruesome murder. Anna leaves behind her beloved Mesa Verde to take on a position as district park ranger of the Mississippi Natchez Trace Parkway. Once there she faces an angry staff that refuses to work with a woman supervisor. But she pushes that difficulty aside when she stumbles over the body of a teenage girl, shrouded in a hood reminiscent of the KKK. As Anna searches for the truth amidst lies and evasions, she discovers the overgrown woods, thick with kudzu, hold dark secrets that can only lead to violence. Nevada Barr draws on her own experience as a ranger on the Natchez Trace Parkway to create believable situations. Barbara Rosenblat transports you to the Mississippi countryside to feel the sultry heat and smell the heady scents.

Deep South is the 8th book in the Anna Pigeon mystery series by Nevada Barr. I have read 10 or so books in the series and I have to say this is one of the better ones. Anna Pigeon is a Park Ranger for the US National Park Service. Each story highlights a different national park around the US. In this......more

Goodreads review by Jeanne on June 14, 2012

At the beginning of this series I though detective Anna Pigeon showed a lot of potential for depth and personal growth along with the adventures at various National Parks. Now I'm not so sure. I liked the interactions with her new colleagues and how she had to establish herself in her new position.......more

I've been enjoying the Anna Pigeon series for years now, although I have been reading them out of order ( I don't think it has made a big difference!). This is the 8th one in the series and I've been reading a lot of the later ones that came after this one. So it seemed like it was going back to an......more

I listened to Flashbacks years ago and really liked it. I found the books about Anna Pigeon for free on Audible so I started from the beginning. Anna is really doing crazy things at times! Why drive for 22 hours and think you are ok to start a new job in a place where you haven't been before!? There......more
