I finished another library book last night, “Track of the Cat” by local author Nevada Barr. This was my first Barr book and won’t be my last, even though I wasn’t particularly swept away by the book or the style of writing of the author. Don’t get me wrong, I did like it, but I didn’t just {gushingly} love it. It was a good book, good plot, and I am going to read at least another couple of the Anna Pidgeon books, specifically the ones set in my local area. This one took place in West Texas, in Guadalupe National Park, and revolved around some mysterious “accidents” and deaths in the park. Anna, one of the park rangers, gets curious and decides to investigate when things don’t add up. 🙂
For the record, that makes #50 on the list so far this year, with my total number of pages read at 17,646. Up next is the last library book I got on my last trip, one that my sister Gail had read and liked. It’s called “Match Me If You Can” by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, another new author for me. Hope it’s good!
This was the first Nevada Barr book I read, too. I’m with you about liking it, but not exceedingly so. I don’t know what it was although I think some of it was the character. Everything was well written, but it just didn’t grab me and I couldn’t empathize with her. I did really like the backdrop of the Guadalupe National Park. It sounds like such a beautiful place.
I have heard about her as a writer from Miss. and a patrol officer on the Trace.
I call our dog, Nevada Barr, sometimes !
