Publisher Description
In this mystery in Nevada Barr’s New York Times bestselling series, District Park Ranger Anna Pigeon is betrayed by nature itself, as a most unnatural evil stalks its prey in the pristine West…
Straddling the border between Montana and Canada lies the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park—Anna’s home away from home when she is sent on a cross-training assignment to study grizzly bears. Along with bear researcher Joan Rand and a volatile, unpredictable teenage boy, Anna hikes the back country, seeking signs of bear. But the tables are turned on their second night out, when one of the beasts comes looking for them. Daybreak finds the boy missing, a camper mutilated, and Anna caught in a grip of fear, painfully aware that her lifelong bond with nature has inexplicably snapped...

Blood Lure
Nevada Barr is one of my favorite authors and I have read most of her books. That said, this is not one of my favorite Anna Pigeon stories. It was not as action packed as most of her previous ones, thus for me the pace was disappointingly slow. As usual, the tale was a creative one, but this time it strained credulity. In Barr’s favor, her use of language is still well above average and her descriptions of the natural environment are moving, at times waxing poetic. I hope that Barr continues writing Anna Pigeon/National Park adventure stories, and I recommend to her the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as a setting. After all, it is the most visited NP and is rich in history and fascinating stories. As such I think the book would have wide appeal.
A Zillion printing errors! Ms. Barr should be embarrassed.
So many typos; incorrect words. Even sentences repeated. Awful! Not one of her best books either. A great story but tons of inconsistencies and a schmarmy ending. :(
