A Superior Death

I was listening to this one and probably missed a lot of details, but I didn't find the plot twists very interesting. Not as good as the first, although that one's villain was also not great

I found this author many years ago. I am still working on reading all her Anna Pigeon books. This was a great story that takes place on the shores and in and on Lake Superior. I'd recommend.

I gave a stellar 4 star review to the first Anna Pigeon mystery, [b:Track of the Cat 76706 Track of the Cat (Anna Pigeon Mysteries, #1) Nevada Barr http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170899635s/76706.jpg 954916], and was very excited to sit down with book two of the series. Perhaps I had my hopes up, but this book was quite a disappointment. As a reader of mysteries, I expect that certain elements of plots must be far-fetched like the fact that murders seem to occur in unlikely places (at every National Park that Anna Pigeon visits, for instance). This book, however, just had too many unlikely characters all brought together to live at this Park, and I just couldn't bring myself to accept it as even remotely plausible. Like the first Pigeon book, though, the book was filled with fantastic descriptions of nature and the Park itself (thus the 3 star rating instead of 2), but it just fell flat with a poor plot driven mostly by poor characters. I will definitely read more in the series, but if the next few are like this one, I will give it up.
