Burn

DO NOT READ THIS BOOK if you like or have children. What the cover doesn't tell you is what this book is actually about - child molestation and abuse. Barr painted horrid mental images for me and I wish she would take Anna Pigeon back to the National Parks to solve less violent crimes.

I love reading about Anna and the location details of each park she visits. But this book just wasn't an Anna Pigeon story. I mean, it was about Anna, but the entire story takes place in New Orleans and there wasn't even much detail about the city. It's mostly about a burned house, and the building/home/apartment(?) where Anna is staying, and a warehouse, where the final chapters occur.
The story in itself was ok. But I really, really missed the parks.

Disturbing thriller. Don't know that I would recommend this as a starting point in the Anna Pigeon series (my first, and not what I was looking for or expecting).
