Hard Truth

By: Nevada Barr

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

New York Times best-selling author Nevada Barr continues her award-winning Anna Pigeon series with this riveting mystery that features the puzzling plot twists, deft characterizations, and sparkling dialogue that have become Barr's trademarks, and which her ever-growing fan base can't get enough of.

Anna and Sheriff Paul Davidson are married only three days before Anna moves from Mississippi to Colorado. Her mettle is immediately tested as the new district ranger at Rocky Mountain National Park. Three young girls have gone missing, and when only two return a month later, wearing filthy undergarments and bearing deep psychological scars, the signs point to a mysterious religious organization that guards its secrets closely. As a palpable sense of evil casts its shadow over the park, Anna puts her life on the line to discover the truth behind the disappearances.

Critic reviews

"Noted for her precise plotting and atmospheric descriptions of nature, Barr again proves her skill in putting believable characters in peril against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery." (Publishers Weekly)

disappointing

I forwarded through so much of this story. I don't remember Anna being so inept before.

Masterful

Barr again delivers us beautiful vistas, heart-stopping moments, a tender touch and a chilling plot twist that will keep you listening to the very end.

The most startling, nail bitter yet!

This book shown great artistry in it's plot, in it's delivery, and in the narrator. I am still trying to catch my breath, highly recommended!

A little scary!

I love the Anna Pigeon books, but after this one, gonna take a break! Anna, go home to Paul and take a sebatical! Spend a month with Molly, get some help! They seem to be getting worse. Not just a cool murder mystery with a stunning backdrop, this one had torture, serial killer, child abuse......it just went too far for me, don't think I will ever go to RMP again, and I'm from Colorado!

save the wolf

enjoyed this one. Sadly the sick world scarred the park. fanatics get away with abuse and insane nuts are everywhere
