Publisher's Summary

The New York Times bestseller starring Anna Pigeon from the author of Winter Study.

“Action-packed…a narrative that plunges readers into mystery [and] mayhem.” -The Denver Post

Hoping a raft trip in Big Bend National Park will lift her spirits, Anna Pigeon and her husband Paul go to southwest Texas, where the Rio Grande is running high. The beauty of the Chihuahuan Desert and the power of the river work their magic - until the raft is lost in the rapids and a young college student makes a grisly discovery.

Implausible, hollow mystery

My wife and I listened to this and did not enjoy it at all. The characters are hollow, the plot is formulaic and the story is completely implausible. For example, several murders occur at the beginning of the book but then aren't mentioned, explained or investigated until near the end of the book...the characters seem to pretend the never happened. All-in-all, this is a book I wish I had skipped.

Borderline

Excellent, up to Nevada Barr's excellent writing. I have loved each and every book she has written and hope for more. Anna is a great character and so are the others in her life. Again Bravo to this book and the author.
