Given climate change and the persistent drought, California wildfires today take on such a different character. There was no years-long drought in the mid-1990s, and the fire was perceived as a normal event that could, within a few days, be contained. I was struck by the difference in attitudes toward the fires then and now.
One of their number is murdered, and Anna is forced to put on her security officer cap to keep a lid on the situation, and try to figure out what happened.īarr makes the most of the location: the hydrothermal features, the rugged terrain, and the wildfires. Working in Lassen Volcanic National Park as an EMT during a wildfire, Anna Pigeon is attached to a small crew that is cut off from the outside when the blaze shifts and a snowstorm sets in. The next was just OK, but this one, an early entry, was super.
The first I read, was the best, with a great location and a nifty dual plot. I discovered Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series this year.
