Flashback

By: Nevada Barr

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

When Sheriff Paul Davidson proposes marriage to Anna Pigeon, he doesn't get the reaction a man might hope for. Intrepid park ranger Anna runs all the way to the furthest scrape of American ground not found in Alaska or Hawaii. How's that for a no?

Anna takes a new post as temporary supervisory ranger in Dry Tortugas National Park, 70 miles off Key West. Dry Tortugas is the site of the former prison for Lincoln conspirators during and after the Civil War. One of the seven islands in the chain is completely encircled by the massive stone walls of Fort Jefferson, a crumbling reminder of the site's gritty past. Now, the park looks like an island paradise. But as Anna quickly discovers, even the most picturesque and seemingly peaceful places have more than their share of shady goings-on.

An exploding boat, the discovery of unidentifiable body parts, and the emergence of secrets both past and present put Anna's life in danger. Cut off from the modern world by poor communications and miles of water, she's developing a nasty case of cabin fever, one that just might pry her fingers from their tenuous grip on sanity. Full of stunning scenery and packed with breathtaking suspense, Flashback is everything a mystery fan could ask for and more.

Flashback is another great listen!

I love Anna Pidgeon. She's just so, well, so normal! She loves, she fears, she runs from emotional ties, she's curious & once she gets her teeth into something, she just can't stop picking at it. This adventure is a little different in that the Civil War history of the Park is interwoven with the present through letters & flashbacks as Anna pursues the Park's ghosts while she works as an underpaid Park Ranger.

It is in the middle of the pack

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I wouldn't say on the edge of my eat but it did keep me very interested. I really liked how the 2 stories were separate but entwined.

She does an above average job

Good story. Held my attention, and I could not wait to pick it up and continue reading. Indication of a good read.

I love the two story lines in this one!

Nevada Barr introduced two story lines for this flashback. Captivating on all accords. Great narrator as well, that Barbara Rosenblatt!

Fantastic! Richly descriptive and exciting storyline

Nevada Barr has brought to life an area of American History that I’d somehow never learned much about in my school years. Her descriptive details of the Florida Key location and the buildings of Fort Jefferson with her amazing ability of making the reader feel like they’re walking(climbing, jumping and running!)right along side her! The narrator, Barbara Rosenblatt, is superb as always, added to the excitement, with her ability to seemingly BECOME the character(s) & kept me on the edge of my chair & occasionally having to remind myself to breathe! A few times I actually laughed out loud which for me is not all that common while I’m listening to a book.
