Books by Nevada Barr

Nevada Barr's protagonist, Anna Pigeon, is a national park ranger, which provides for some interesting locales. Not surprisingly, Barr was once a park ranger in real life. The park settings are very faithfully portrayed - I have recognized numerous locations described in her books, and even took a panorama at the exact spot where Pigeon fell off a cliff in the Guadalupe Mountains.

The Anna Pigeon mystery series now numbers 15 titles, all set in national parks and eight of them in the west.
