Ill Wind

An Anna Pigeon Novel

By: Nevada Barr

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Separated from friends and family and haunted by personal demons, park ranger Anna Pigeon finds solace in the quiet ruins of the Anasazi civilization of Colorado's Mesa Verde. But the rugged beauty of the park and the mystery of the Anasazi are cruelly overshadowed by danger and death. Lately, visitors to Mesa Verde have been bringing home more than photos…they're also carrying a strange—and deadly—disease. In order to prevent more deaths, Anna Pigeon must find the very human source of an evil wind.

ABRIDGED VERSION

Although this is an interesting story, written by an author I enjoy READING, I did not realize I would be buying an abridged version to LISTEN to.

Not Barr's Best

I am a Nevada Barr fan, but this one didn't fit together as neatly as the plots of her other books. At the end, there were still some loose ends. Perhaps because it was abridged.

Don't like edited versions

Wasn't aware that this was an edited version. There were so many details missing that it made following the story difficult. I'm used to un-edited versions- they may take longer but you get all the nuances.

YUCKY ABRIDGMENT

Come on audible, whats with the abridgements? I had to make up my own storyline and sorely missed B. Rosenblat as narrator.

Skip the Abridged versions

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It is never a waste of time to listen to any book in Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon Series, but you miss so much of the beauty of the backdrop for each story (the National Park), that is it almost a crime to abridge it. Hold out for the unabridged version.

If you’ve listened to books by Nevada Barr before, how does this one compare?

Hard to compare this book to the others I have listen too (all of them) because I always opt for the unabridged if available and the abridged version disappoints.
